- We have spent the past few days driving down the 363 miles of the beautiful Oregon Coastline. We definitely saved the best for last with the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor in Southern Oregon.
This is a 12 mile, linear park that really just encompasses a thin strip of land between the ocean and highway 101. While it might be a small park, it is one of the most scenic stretches of the Oregon Coast - it has rugged coastline, natural arches, sea stacks, cliffs, coves and small secluded beaches.
Along the 12 miles of the highway within the park there are many viewpoints and hiking trails we explore! Some of these locations are marked by signs along the road, others have a smaller notice beside a pullout, while the remainder are undesignated.
We get started at the Arch Rock Viewpoint on the North end of the park. This is the easiest viewed natural arch in the scenic corridor and there is a short path that leads to a couple of overlooks.
Next up we head to Natural Bridges - There are seven natural formed bridges and arched rocks with trees growing on their tops making this small cove one of the most iconic views in the corridor. There is a wooden viewing platform located just to the left of the parking lot that we check out first. It is a nice view but we also head down the very steep trail to the right of the parking lot to get closer to the rock formations.
The path is short but really steep with loose dirt and rocks so we take things slow making our way down. We enjoy the views of the rock formations and watch as the waves crash through the arches and wash up on the sandy shore below.
From Natural Bridges we drive over the Thomas Creek Bridge which is actually the tallest bridge in Oregon at 345 feet. We stop at Indian Sands which is a short 1.1 mile hike. We start out in the trees but drop quickly to a treeless sandstone plateau with sand dunes and erosive formations. The hike is short and quick but offers stunning coastal views!
Next up is Cape Ferrelo which is another short 1 mile trail that offers breathtaking views of the coast!
We finally end the day at Secret Beach for sunset. This is actually an unmarked stop on the road just north of Miller Creek. We take the short hike down to the beach which we have all to ourselves! We walk around and explore a bit before enjoying the sunset - and it really is the perfect way to end our day!

To be able to travel with someone I love is a dream of mine ! You guys are Amazing and your energy is radiating! Thank you for your videos
Thank you so much for the kind words, that means a lot to us!! 🥰🥰
I'm so clumsy, I don't think I'd make it to that viewpoint, as gorgeous as it is -- I'd be in the water 😂
Haha honestly I am pretty prone to accidents too.. I probably should not be doing hikes like this between that and my fear of heights. 🤣🤪
1st time subscribed viewer... you two are so adventurous!!! Thank you for sharing and also for hiking to make those fabulous views! Blessings from a California gramma 😄🌴🌺🎆🌘
Yayyy so happy you found us Ann! Thanks so much for subscribing and for the kind words of encouragement! ☺️☺️
For the benefit of visitors to the Boardman Scenic Corridor:The scene at the extreme south end of the Indian Sands area(south of the natural archway at Indian Sands)is one of the great scenes of North America!From the view points of the archway it is just a short walk straight south.
Thanks so much for the input!
great !
Thanks for sharing! I'm planning to head there this August and shot some videos. I'm a little nervous about going to that viewpoint in Natural Bridges.
Hoped you all enjoyed the California coast! I was there last year!
Planning a northern California/southern Oregon trip for my CZcams channel next month. This was fun, informative...thanks for sharing; I'll be visiting some of these spots for sure.
Thanks so much, have a great trip!! ☺️
I really enjoy your travel vids. You two make a great team! Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more of these! Do you fly a Mavic for your aerial shots?
Thanks so much, that is so nice of you to say!! 🥰 and yes we sure do, all of our current videos were with the Mavic Air but have since replaced it with a Mavic Air 2 (our original drone is in its final resting place on a cliff in Montenegro 😂😩).
This is amazing 💕
Thank you for watching!
Hi! Quick question - what month did you visit this area of Oregon? Might be making an impromptu visit to the area soonish and am hoping the weather will be like that of what is in this video.
We were there end of October last year... so right around this time actually! ☺️
I can't find any info on drones on that coastline. Do you need a permit for drones or are they allowed in Samuel H Boardman state park?
Your drone work is awesome!! Great video!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video!! ☺️
Speechless at the beauty of creation there.
Just.
Wow.
Thanks so much for watching, so glad you enjoyed the video! It really is such a beautiful place!!
@@WaypointofView Could you babysit our son while my wife and I have a date in that park? LOL.
HAHA unfortunately we are already back on the East Coast at this point. Otherwise absolutely 😉
great video!- Robert and Amana
Thanks so much!!
Awesome video. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching!
@@WaypointofView I love your videos. Y'all should check out South East N. C if you haven't already.
Wecome to our home!
Amazing video, watched your Crater Lake video as well. Headed out to both next month with my sister and we can’t wait. What kind of camera did you use for these?
Thanks so much Daniel! Hope you enjoy your trip!! ☺️ We use a Fuji XT3: amzn.to/3ow4n62
@@WaypointofView thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I've been planning a trip here and I'm going to be stopping at all the stops you guys did! I know this is a older video but how long did it take you guys to do all these trails?
Thanks so much for watching! We spent about a week making our way down the entire Oregon Coast but only had a day in the Samuel Boardman area. We had initially planned for 2 days but it was really rainy 1 of them... I think 2 days would be the perfect amount of time though. ☺️
Been to most of the beaches and trails lots to explore. Stumbled on your video.
what time of year did you go here?
We were there around October!
Thanks for the information. We are currently here. The bad news... I can't fly my drone, due to the bad weather. May I have permission to use clips of your drone footages? I'll credit you in the description. Thanks
how much would you charge for ~30 seconds of scenic footage for reuse?
So most of this footage is currently back home in the US and we are in Kyrgyzstan... we currently only have access to one drone flight but I would say it's the best one. Email us if interested.. Waypointofview@gmail.com ☺️
Hey You Two :) Such awesome videos
Also, sounds like we should just a spend a whole entire day in this Scenic Corridor? :)
Thank you so much! So glad you found our videos and thanks for the kind words of encouragement! 😍😍
Yes, DEFINITELY at least 1 full day in the Samuel Scenic Corridor!
As far as where we stayed... we mostly stayed in Airbnbs on our road trip. This was the one we stayed at in Arch Cape (near Cannon Beach)... www.airbnb.com/rooms/7124452?source_impression_id=p3_1621183883_k9cX69NrXqIN5gXr&guests=1&adults=1 and then this one in Gold Beach which was near the Scenic Corridor.. www.airbnb.com/rooms/27307839?source_impression_id=p3_1621183931_Cp1NKxEx9Rm%2FiHT3&guests=1&adults=1 (I hope these links work??)
We stayed at some cheap, dumpy motel about half way between the 2 but honestly I cannot even remember the name and it was definitely nothing to write home about. But there are tons of options (hotels, Airbnbs, etc) all along the coast so you should have plenty of options!
Let me know if you have any other questions and enjoy your trip! It really is a beautiful part of the country!!
So just reread this... do you mean Rialto Beach in Washington? If so, we also stayed in an Airbnb up there in Port Angeles which was really conveniently located for part of the park but resulted in a lot of driving getting to/ from the Western Coast of Olympic NP.
What’s the secret at Secret beach? 😉
LOL! 😉😉
On rare occasions there is a blow hole that can absolutely roar.
