Review & FAQ:

The Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is a 12-mile-long ribbon of coastline. Filled with steep cliffs, sandy beaches and coastal forest areas, the corridor is known for its unparalleled beauty. As the namesake of Oregon's first parks superintendent the corridor is carefully preserved and managed.

Some of its best features include the 300-year-old sitka spruce trees in the forest, the monolith known as Arch Rock, and the 27-mile-long portion of the Oregon Coast Trail that winds through the corridor. From the desolate beaches, visitors can take in stunning views of ancient sea stacks, hidden coves and steep, forested cliffs.
