🌊🌲 Exploring Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor – Oregon Coast Magic

Simba 🐾 and I explored the breathtaking Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor along the southern Oregon coast — a 12-mile stretch of dramatic cliffs, lush forest trails, and panoramic ocean views that showcase some of the most beautiful scenery in the Pacific Northwest. ✨

Located between Brookings and Gold Beach, this coastal gem is packed with scenic viewpoints, natural bridges, and short hikes that lead to jaw-dropping vistas. From rugged headlands to hidden beaches, every stop feels like stepping into a postcard.

📍 Highlights from Our Visit

🌲 Hiking forested coastal trails surrounded by towering pines
🌉 Stunning views at Natural Bridges, Arch Rock, and Secret Beach
🌊 Exploring hidden coves and dramatic cliffsides
🐾 Dog-friendly trails — Simba loved the ocean breeze!
📸 Endless photo and video opportunities along the coast

🌅 Nature’s Masterpiece on the Oregon Coast

Few places capture Oregon’s coastal magic like Samuel H. Boardman. The Natural Bridges Viewpoint is a showstopper, with sea arches carved by waves over centuries. Secret Beach lives up to its name — a tucked-away stretch of sand perfect for quiet reflection. And Arch Rock offers sweeping views that make you feel like you’re standing on the edge of the world. 🌏

Every trail and overlook invites you to slow down and take in the beauty of Oregon’s wild coastline — a mix of power and peace that’s impossible to forget.

🐾 Simba’s Adventure

Simba had a blast trotting down the forest paths, ears flapping in the salty wind. 🐕 From sniffing the trailheads to watching the waves crash below, this was his kind of adventure — full of fresh air and freedom.
