The Oregonian | 8 low tide treasures on the Oregon coast @oregonian | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Summer low tides have arrived on the Oregon coast, uncovering a host of intertidal adventures.
From tide pools to secret beaches, there are a lot of things to see on the rugged coastline when the tide goes out – as long as you can do so safely.
Exploring the intertidal areas in Oregon is rewarding but dangerous. Between slippery and jagged rocks, rough cliffs, sea creatures and the rising tide, there are a lot of hazards to consider. Leave your flip flops at home.
Those who show up prepared can expect to find a whole new universe to explore: a place where strange, colorful creatures occupy the cracks of exposed rock, where underwater caves and tunnels open up, albeit briefly, to land walkers like us.
Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
- The Neskowin ghost forest is a bucket list low tide attraction.
- Thors Well and Devils Punchbowl are more than just dramatic names.
- How to find the hidden shipwrecked boiler in Boiler Bay.
- Why Lost Boy Beach is one of the most dangerous low tide adventures.
