BOARDMAN CORRIDOR is located about 6 miles north of Harris Beach and about 10 miles south of Gold Beach. Harris Beach seems to be the starfish capital of the world, and the tourist will find plenty of photo-opportunities to pose near a pink-colored starfish. Gold Beach is a charming seaside community, where (depending on the restaurant) you can find excellent clam chowder and excellent oyster chowder and where, if you are lucky, you can see whales from your motel room balcony. The Boardman Corridor is free of any commercialization and, in this way, it is like the equally legendary and scenic segment of Route 1 that takes you through Salt Point State Park in northern California. Secret Beach is announced by a tiny sign located near a dirt turnout by Route 1. Secret Beach is abundantly photogenic, and the visitor might be under the impression that he or she has been magically converted into a dab of ink, and reincarnated as a component of a picture postcard. Yes, Secret Beach has picture postcard written all over it. A narrow trail takes you from the dirt turnout, past a few scenic spots, and ultimately to the beach itself. The entire trail can be walked in about 20 minutes. Children should be kept at close hand, because there are some spots along the trail where they might be tempted to go out and explore on their own, and by accident tumble down a steep embankment. Also, visitors need to be very aware of whether the tide is rising, since being trapped between the rising tide and a cliff would be a real bummer. Actually, I would prefer to let my photographs (attached) do all of the talking. Photogenic features of Secret Beach include clusters of mussels attached to boulders, many seastacks both near and far, and sea arches.

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 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.

Sweet course for a small town, not to many towns have a course this nice for the size of Brookings, it’s a challenging course, the fairways don’t cross each other so there’s challenges on most holes which adds to the beauty of this course, The Early’s have put a lot of blood sweat and tears in this course and the results show ! I highly recommend playing here , you don’t have to hit long but you better hit straight!! Nice staff , lunch is good!

We had a wonderful time waking on this beach. There are plenty of beautiful shells and rocks, the little cove and near-shore rocks make for plenty of roaring surf and pretty sights. This beach was not crowded even though all parking was full. I look forward to our next visit.
