摘要

The report summarizes information collected during the summer of 1989 throughsurveys conducted at four state parks, one national park, three state beaches, and two county beaches in California, Oregon, and Washington. Over 3,380 on-site (intercept) interviews were completed from June to March 1989 at ten sites. An additional 1,114 mailback questionnaires have been completed. The report contains tabular summaries of (1) socio-demographic profiles of users; (2) type and extent of recreation activities engaged in by visitors; (3) types and amount of expenditures on recreation activities; (4) willingness-to-pay for park access; and (5) satisfaction ratings for various park attributes. Also included are detailed profiles of the ten sites from the NOAA Inventory of Public Recreation Areas and Facilities in Coastal Areas.
