When the tide is low, you’ll find a lovely expanse of smooth sand, though closer to the woods the beach is mostly covered with glittering cobblestones and driftwood.

From the shore, you’ll be able to get a glimpse of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, an incredible abandoned lighthouse perched on a large rock a mile out to sea.
