Secret beach is so special, you must see it if you’re able to make the hike in. It’s mild in my opinion and I’m a 62 yr old granny. The sea stacks are beautiful and on a sunny day in early summer you can enjoy wildflowers growing all over the stacks and around the beach! It’s a very pretty place. 1/3 mile south of marker 345.

We went during their Winter festival; the park was decorated with the most amazing Christmas lights displays. I was so pleasantly surprised because Brookings is a very small town and their displays were "big city" quality. I absolutely loved it and whenever I get to Brookings again I'll go back to the park to walk it's nice paths even without the decorations.

This is a small beach, but beautiful! Enjoyed the easy access to the beach and close-by facilities. Climbed a rock thanks to low tide!

Parking was easy, the paths were easy, you can nature walk in the small woods or on the beach. Seen a painter set up today enjoying the peace. Lots of drift wood to get past but don't let that interfere with a nice visit of beauty, sun and tranquility.

Close to town... 2 minutes away... you park at the waste water treatment plant... our first impression was Oh Sh*t but... if you brave the stinky smells, when you follow the short trail out to the point, you are rewarded with gorgeous views and pristine beaches. Hidden treasure for sure!

We truly enjoyed this hike. There are actually two hikes here a short, what seemed to be easy hike and then a longer, more difficult hike. We actually did the longer hike. I would not advise the longer hike if you have a difficult time getting around. It's beautiful but you drop quite a bit in elevation, which means you have to walk back up to get out of that. Very beautiful and peaceful with some amazing trees. We missed just a bit of the short hike since we took the longer trail but from what we saw you get a good feel for how amazing this forest is from the short hike. I feel it is worth seeing even if you only do the short trail.
