Secret Beach

[AlanLichty]

I revisited some of the trails along the Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor just north of Brookings along US101 earlier this week and one of my destinations was a beach called Secret Beach. Hardly very secret when it's clearly marked on maps but a name is a name. I made a point of getting there before the scene had full sunlight since there were no clouds in sight.

Secret Beach in the Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor, Oregon.

C&C always welcome.

Nice one Alan, I never figured out a good comp here.

One of my favorite locations in that area. Nice take there.

Very cool Alan! I like the look of this

Sometime we should do a theme of locations with Ironic names.

While the location isn't a secret, it is not easily identified as the access is unmarked. It took me a while to figure it out on my first visit there.

There are two paths to the beach and both are on parts of the Oregon Coast Trail. I have been starting from the Thunder Rock Cove parking area. There is a loop trail from that parking lot as well as the Oregon Coast Trail which leads down to the beach. The trail markers leave a lot to be desired. There is another very small pullout just north of the Thunder Rock Cove parking area that is a little closer to the beach. The two trails merge right at the landing just above Secret Beach and the falls. The trail from the Thunder Rock Cove pullout has some more waterfalls so you know which route I prefer

Nice work here, Alan.
