The Inner North Jetty at Barview Jetty County Park offers access to Tillamook Bay's nutrient-rich waters. This site features rocky structure along the jetty walls that attracts lingcod, rockfish, and abundant crab populations. The inner portion provides more protection from ocean swells while still offering rewarding cold-water diving.

Inner bay-side of north jetty faces SSE into Tillamook Bay. Both jetties (~5,700 ft north, ~7,000 ft south) block direct ocean swell from W/NW. SW swell refracts into bay mouth with major energy loss. Tidal currents remain the primary hazard, not swell.
