The park extends south along the Otter Crest Loop Road to the Rocky Creek Bridge.{{cite book|last=Bannan|first=Jan|title=Oregon State Parks: A Complete Recreation Guide|publisher=The Mountaineers Books|pages=84–85|year=2001|edition=2nd|location=Seattle, Washington|isbn=0-89886-794-0}}

Between 1926 and 1954, the state bought land for the park from private owners and received other land for the park from the Federal government. The Civilian Conservation Corps undertook the original development of the site between 1934 and 1936.{{cite web|title=Park History|url=http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkHistory&parkId=184|publisher=Oregon Parks and Recreation Department|access-date=March 15, 2016}}

Open year-round for day use, the park has picnic tables, parking spaces, and restrooms. Attractions include watching whales, waves, and ocean birds along a rocky coast, and hiking through a forest of shore pines.
