This is one of the COOLEST beaches I've ever been to - the centerpiece is a giant, mountainous rock…read morecalled Proposal Rock, there's a flowing tidal river, huge tide pools teeming with life and best of all - a GHOST FOREST! Well, for now anyway. It's mind blowing how much the beach landscape changes in just a year... Every low tide, the remnants of an ancient spruce forest emerge along the beach to the left of Proposal Rock. These historic tree stumps are over 2000 years old. My first visit was in early June 2022 and there were so many stumps - many of which were well over my head and I'm about 5'3"! But they're almost gone now - I visited again July 2023 and most of them are buried by sand now. Apparently this is a cyclical thing along the Oregon coast. These ancient relics were buried completely for many years - only to be unearthed by a series of coastal storms back in the late 90s. So anytime there's a series of coastal storms causing big waves, sand gets washed away and more of the stumps are revealed. It's about 1/2 mile walk to get to the ghost forest from the parking lot. Most of the walk is through deep sand and then you have to cross the tidal river so you're gonna get wet - highly recommend some decent water shoes. Back in June 2022 on my first visit, at low tide, this river was super fast flowing and deep - came up to my knees and calves at the shallow parts. Definitely a little intimidating - I had to do some rock scrambling at the base of Proposal Rock first and then make my way to where the river emptied into the sea where the waves slowed the water down lol. It didn't help that I was recovering from a broken ankle though so it's probably not as bad haha! But this time, in July 2023, the river had shifted, was about 2/3rds smaller, only came up to my ankles and was completely still - not flowing at all. Really crazy how dramatically the amazing natural features of this beach change over short amounts of time. The stumps are absolutely covered in barnacles - goosenecks, acorn barnacles, thatched barnacles - I tried to find the fabled Giant Barnacles but couldn't lol. The tide pools had so many starfish and I even saw an adorable harbor seal swimming up the river as the tide came in searching for fish - and I saw some Bald Eagles around Proposal Rock - just so much to see here! There's a tiny little village area at the trailhead with a great little cafe and a general store with its own little cafe. Plenty of parking in the beach lot if you come early - but it was completely packed by 10am. There are clean bathrooms with changing areas at the parking lot. On the other side of the lot is a wildlife preserve where salmon migrate through seasonally - just so much nature to see here - it's awesome!

I found it gets the zoomies out of them and that makes for a quiet night, most times. Sometimes you have a small group of littles and they somehow are fueled by the laughter of other kids and seem to possess unlimited energy. We camp closest to the beach. There is no shade there. We bring our own but at night, the stars are like street lights. It's beautiful. The moon at times feels like you could grab it. The ocean will put you to sleep like a Dr.s prescription. It's amazing. All the bathrooms get used a lot because of the amount of people who stay here but they are constantly being cleaned. The showers are a little strange to me but good. Don't try to park an extra vehicle on your spot even if only unloading. The parking is terrible BUT way down the road, on the "Day Use Area" is plenty of parking. Ya, we all hate parking in the D.U.A. They hold cultural events in the D.U.A. We've seen some awesome Native American dancers. They looked super cool. The beach access is at either end of the dune. The beach is clean and the waves aren't that vicious. The shore is nice and shallow. Low tide brings a whole different look to the area with smooth rock surfaces and cobblestones. Of course the ocean is always awesome.

The sand is fine and great for digging with the kiddos, building sandcastles or just walking barefoot. It can get pretty crowded but the water is decent and it has nice views. I can't in good conscience give it more than three starts though; The flying carpenter ants are quite a nuisance and you will have to deal with dozens if you plan on staying more than an hour. I liked that they allow bonfires at first, but unfortunately as they have very few restrictions, you will find that people are burning all evening and all night and the smell of smoke overpowers everything. There were people burning in large pits they dug in the sand and teens running around with sticks lit on fire all night. Just being in proximity filled our clothes and gear and car with a thick smoke smell. In the morning it was difficult even to breathe in the fresh air from the beach with the smoldering fires and thick smoke smell. If you love bonfires, this is definitely the beach for you though and you would probably rate it more of a 4 or 5 star beach. If you go to the beach for the fresh, clean air, I would only recommend a short visit here during the day.
