Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor

Reviewed By TomBrody - Berkeley, United States

BOARDMAN CORRIDOR is located about 6 miles north of Harris Beach and about 10 miles south of Gold Beach. Harris Beach seems to be the starfish capital of the world, and the tourist will find plenty of photo-opportunities to pose near a pink-colored starfish. Gold Beach is a charming seaside community, where (depending on the restaurant) you can find excellent clam chowder and excellent oyster chowder and where, if you are lucky, you can see whales from your motel room balcony. The Boardman Corridor is free of any commercialization and, in this way, it is like the equally legendary and scenic segment of Route 1 that takes you through Salt Point State Park in northern California. Secret Beach is announced by a tiny sign located near a dirt turnout by Route 1. Secret Beach is abundantly photogenic, and the visitor might be under the impression that he or she has been magically converted into a dab of ink, and reincarnated as a component of a picture postcard. Yes, Secret Beach has picture postcard written all over it. A narrow trail takes you from the dirt turnout, past a few scenic spots, and ultimately to the beach itself. The entire trail can be walked in about 20 minutes. Children should be kept at close hand, because there are some spots along the trail where they might be tempted to go out and explore on their own, and by accident tumble down a steep embankment. Also, visitors need to be very aware of whether the tide is rising, since being trapped between the rising tide and a cliff would be a real bummer. Actually, I would prefer to let my photographs (attached) do all of the talking. Photogenic features of Secret Beach include clusters of mussels attached to boulders, many seastacks both near and far, and sea arches.

Natural Bridges Viewpoint

Reviewed By ranibarks - Chico, United States

So beautiful and worth the stop. Got there on a clear day and was mesmerized by the view. Easy on and off the highway with an easy walk to the viewing deck. You can continue on the unmarked trail all the way down to the arch, but not meant for elderly or people not in fit condition.

We went during their Winter festival; the park was decorated with the most amazing Christmas lights displays. I was so pleasantly surprised because Brookings is a very small town and their displays were "big city" quality. I absolutely loved it and whenever I get to Brookings again I'll go back to the park to walk it's nice paths even without the decorations.

This is a small beach, but beautiful! Enjoyed the easy access to the beach and close-by facilities. Climbed a rock thanks to low tide!

Reviewed By DillyisDolli-ing - Tempe, United States

Parking was easy, the paths were easy, you can nature walk in the small woods or on the beach. Seen a painter set up today enjoying the peace. Lots of drift wood to get past but don't let that interfere with a nice visit of beauty, sun and tranquility.

Chetco Point Park

Reviewed By Willow_roots - California, United States

Close to town... 2 minutes away... you park at the waste water treatment plant... our first impression was Oh Sh*t but... if you brave the stinky smells, when you follow the short trail out to the point, you are rewarded with gorgeous views and pristine beaches. Hidden treasure for sure!
