About This Beach
Short Beach is a secluded, rocky beach in Oregon characterized by its steep, wooded staircase descent, multiple waterfalls cascading into the ocean, and abundant opportunities for agate hunting. The beach offers stunning views of cliffs, stacks, and crashing waves, but limited parking and lack of amenities make it less suitable for families with young children. Its seclusion and unique features, however, are highly appreciated by those seeking a peaceful and scenic escape.
