Such a wonderful little beach that packs a punch! I went right when the sun was setting and captured some amazing pictures. One of the main reasons I went too because I saw the pictures of the waterfall that’s one this one but could not access it or see it from the top of the ridge. I tried taking the trails at the top because they said there was some that would lead over there but it’s just dense forest that you cannot get through unfortunately. I even tried parking further up the road near the waterfall point but there was no trail leading to it at all that I could find. So what I found out if your trying to make it to the waterfall i think you need to go here at low tide and and take the shoreline over to the other beach to access it, it looks so amazing! When I went the coast water was too far up and there would have been no safe way. Regardless I was still happy with the beach here and the little cliffs, rocks, and the views from the top of the little cliffs. Was a cool seagull giving me some cool pictures while there too, definitely stop if your in the area and come at low tide time to see the waterfall!
Beautiful park. The staircase to the beach is a little "rustic" so be careful. The top of the beach is larger stones, so it may be difficult for some to walk down to the sand. The view of the waterfall is cool. Be sure to get there when the tide is out so you can get around to the waterfall. There are some trails you can find at the top of the hill that looks down on the falls. We enjoyed our visit to Hug Point.
This inconspicuous turn off the main road should not be missed. Great beachcombing with lots to see. Small parking lot but usually easy to find spots. Definitely worth the stop.
so much to see make sure the tide is out when you go here so you can see all it has to offer. it's so beautiful here 😍 it is a steep driveway down and the steps that lead to the beach are hard to use
This is a short hike you want to make! Personally, I believe you need to visit places like this when you have the opportunity because they don’t happen often. Eh, captain obvious here! 🤣 Take the time here to; Brave a storm and howling winds just to feel the power of the Pacific Ocean , or have a picnic and enjoy the stunning Oregon coastline. It’s a beautiful moment, a snapshot in time you will remember always. Probably because of the dang hike down there to be honest. The stairs are kinda treacherous at the bottom, watch your step!
