We went on this beautiful hike while we were on the Oregon Coast during my Christmas Break in December.
The Oregon Coast is amazing how it has trees right next to the ocean!
This hike gets a 8/10
| Sara's Rating | Part of hike | My thoughts |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Access to trail | A great big parking lot right by the trail head |
| 1 | Difficulty | Pretty easy 2.4 mi (3.86243km), with a steep (and for us muddy) incline, 59 ft (17.9 m) |
| 2 | Views | So beautiful! |
| 2 | Destination | The drop down onto the beach was great |
| 1 | Time on trial | 37 minutes, It was a much shorter hike than I was wanting or expecting |
It rains a lot in Oregon so I think this trail would often be very muddy like it was for us. If you are looking for a really short hike this is great. I think it would also be fun to take a picnic down to the beach.
Let's go!
The beginning of this hike was very reminiscent of the Redwood Forest hike we did a few days earlier, lots of moss and ferns.

Then the trail dropped right down on to the beach.

and the view from the parking lot.
When we went a couple of years ago we did the Indian Sands Hike. Here is that post. It is a great hike and a bit longer than this one.
