Short Sands Access |
| |
ust a quarter mile from any of the parking areas to the beach, yet the rigors of everyday life are stripped away by the time your feet hit the sand. Although the walk is short, there are several different trails to the beach and lead you to the Cape Falcon overlook or to the Pacific Coast Trail. Be sure to pick up a map on the way into the park. All of the trails to the beach are through a mature forest; one trail follows the winding path of the Short Sands creek. This trail gives way to the spectacular view of the ocean and the creek meeting. This is your first glimpse of the ocean and Short Sands beach. |

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Longboard or shortboard spot in an utterly beautiful setting, however waves have a tendency to be either diminutive (where your longer stick comes in handy) or rather big close-out (rare). Lots of folks out on a summer weekend, especially beginners. Don't bother if you're easily frustrated. |

Short Sands, United States of America

First in 4 months
The water was pretty brown because of the storm, but there were a bunch of people out. I saw some frost on the drive out to the coast. It was fun, but died down in about an an hour and a half.

Long Trip, Okay Day
Okay day for the drive ... everyone in portland that knows how to surf or is trying to learn goes here. Probably great on a big day with the right swell direction during the week. Will not make the drive up on a weekend again.
