Another great beach for surfers and boogie boarders! This one also includes the cliff walk which is simply stunning, although a bit challenging for those who are unsteady on their feet.

We regularly like to walk 1.5 miles along the water towards this petite lighthouse and a gorgeous view of the Portland skyline! It’s especially pretty at night with the city lights shimmering on the water! Also a great place to watch the sunset..
