There's this beach in Oregon....

When we lived there back in the mid 80's it was know as "Secret beach" Virtually unknown except for a few of us in the know. A special place to visit when you wanted to be alone. Low tide was the time to be there, when the water is down you can turn the corner and find yourself in a cathedral of rock arches. Wonderful agates to be found.

We went a while back to see if it was still magical. We parked under the Oregon Parks sign..!!! Right by the trash cans and signs telling the punishments for taking pets. leaving trash lighting fires....... Yes, you've seen them. Then we were told the Secret Beach even has it's own website and blog. My how things change.

We walked down the steep path anyway just to see.....


















We didn't get there for low tide but the place was still magic. And we had it to ourselves. It's been 25 years since we were last there, I suppose I don't mind sharing it....Now and then.

Looks like it's still a special place, Ken. I really love the Oregon coast. We don't get back there often enough. Though somewhere along there is high on our list of possible retirement locations. That's one way to solve any issues with dry skin. But you have to keep moving to avoid moss growing on you

So much for keeping secrets. Nice series.

It's a bit of a magical place Ken. One of the signs should say "Photographers Only".

I do love the Oregon coast. Being from the mid-Atlantic coast of the USA we have nothing comparable. I have family in Portland, Oregon and do get to visit the coast there every few years and your images capture the place perfectly for me.

Thanks for the comments folk. Peaceful, misty Oregon mornings are great for wandering. As long as you don't stop too long like Dan says.
I agree John, I should have put up a "Photographers Only" sign. Probably would have been arrested for graffiti..

Yes it was still magic.
