Secret Beach & the Pacific Ocean Framed by Nature

This image was taken on Secret Beach, looking west onto the Pacific Ocean. The trail to Secret Beach is steep, yet short, and is about 1/3 of a mile south of milepost 345 on U.S. 101 in Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor. There will be a small gravel parking area that leads to the 3/4 mile trail down to Secret Beach. In order to get this particular shot, head to your right and there will be a side trail that takes you on top of a sea stack. Have caution on this trail, as there will be a decent amount of exposure and difficult routes to navigate. About mid-way to the top, there'll be a little grassy knoll that faces south and has a great view of the landscape below. There are some small rocks that you have to climb over, as well as a stream or two to reach the spot where I stood to get this photo. As you're walking, reference the GPS coordinates and you'll get to this viewpoint.
