Located in Southern Oregon, Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is a little known 12-mile stretch of the coastline – and it’s absolutely beautiful. Here, you’ll find jaw-dropping viewpoints, scenic hiking trails, and secluded, sandy coves that make for a perfect summertime destination.

One of the most amazing parts of the Corridor also happens to be one of the loveliest hidden gems on the coast. It’s called Secret Beach, and it’s complete with sea caves, a pristine shoreline, whale watching opportunities, and even a waterfall. Read on to find out more.

The area is full of beautiful old growth forests, rugged cliffs, sea stacks, and sandy coves.
