Road's End is located at the northern tip of Lincoln City, on Oregon's central coast. This spot marks the northern end of Lincoln City's long beach, at the base of a rocky headland. The beach is wide at low tide and offers good kitesurfing conditions with regular northwest thermal winds in summer. Access is easy from the Road's End State Recreation Site with parking and beach trail access.

Cold water year-round (10-14°C), 4/3 wetsuit minimum in summer, 5/3 with hood and gloves in winter. Waves of 1 to 2 meters are common, with larger sets during winter swells. Sandy bottom on the main beach but rocks at the northern headland. Frequent rip currents, especially on outgoing tide. Conditions are calmer at low tide with more space on the beach.
Sneaker waves: unpredictable waves that surge far up the beach. Dangerous rocks at the base of the northern headland, to be avoided at all costs. Powerful rip currents, especially on outgoing tide. Massive driftwood on the beach that can cause serious injuries. Very cold water risking hypothermia. The beach can become very narrow at high tide, limiting launch space.
