This beach reminded me of a black sand beach that I visited in Hawaii.
I was standing on a rock taking this picture and got drenched by a “sneaker wave.” Luckily, I was able to keep my camera and gear dry.

I was trying to make my way down the Oregon Coast, so I didn’t stay long at this lighthouse. It was also just starting to rain. It’s hard to tell, but there are thousands of birds sitting ontop of the rock behind the yellow flowers.

Just a 1/4 mile hike from Hwy 101 leads you to Short Sand Beach.
Out of all of the coastal areas that I visited, this was my favorite.
If you look at the larger version of this image, you can see how small those surfers are compared to the logs that are washed up during strong storms.
Here’s this image in Black and White

This is a pano taken from the base of the public overlook.
This side of the Gorge is much drier than the Eastern side, closer to Portland.
I was hoping to see more flowers in bloom, but unfortnunately I was there a little late in the year.
Here are some good websites that show more of Rowena Crest and the Tom McCall Preserve which is located behind the public overlook.
