Secret Beach in Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is appropriately named because it lies down steep and rough trails where it is secluded from Highway 101. This ocean beach has two sections to explore, each with its own small creek flowing through it. The best of Oregon’s seaside wonders are here, all nine miles of ocean-beaten shores lined with massive cliffs, giant spruce, and natural stone bridges hewn from black volcanic stone. Massive rocks shelter the beach from the brunt of waves and wind, and permit visitors to enjoy the spot in relative serenity.
