Rockhounding and Beachcombing
Mill Beach is a fantastic spot for rockhounding and beachcombing. The beach receives a lot of material from the nearby Chetco River.
The rocky edges of the beach are the best places to search for collectible stones. You can find jasper (with red being more abundant), quartz, agate, nephrite, shells, sea glass, and other gifts of the ocean scattered across the entire beach.
The best time to hunt for interesting rocks and shells is during low tide or just after a storm.
The rocky edges of Mill Beach are full of formations that trap colorful ocean creatures and plants. Visit during low tide to see vibrant ocean life in nature-made aquariums.
Please remember not to touch or remove any marine life — the ocean is a sensitive ecosystem we must protect.
If you want to see even more tidepools, be sure to visit nearby Chetco Beach.
