You wouldn't want to swim without a dry suit, though.
The annoying exception is those few places owned by the feds: Yaquina Head lighthouse for example, it's owned by the BLM together with a fair amount of beach and they charge like the national parks. A national parks pass will get you in free, but the pass isn't free.
