It's a great spot to relax and unwind after a scenic drive down Highway 1 from Portland. Perfect for catching some waves and enjoying the surf, if you catch my drift.

The beach is absolutely stunning with its black sand, and it offers an ideal long and gentle left wave for surfing. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with one-of-a-kind driftwood and beach hues. Make sure not to overlook the bonfire nights and breathtaking sunsets!
