• Location: Secret Beach, Brookings, OR 97415

As you can guess by its name, Secret Beach is tucked away in a secluded spot near Brookings, Oregon, accessed by a short hike down from Highway 101. This means that you're likely to get the whole beach to yourself!

Leashed dogs are welcome, so this is an excellent pet-friendly activity. We suggest bringing a picnic basket so you can spend most of your day there.
