[@tanyaharo1929]

Our family is going soon, is there any way you could show the specific locations for the places you mentioned, like the secret beach and natural bridges? Can’t seem to find it on any maps.. Love the content!

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

That was a great summary and line up! Moving to Brookings sometime this year so this was helpful. We might see each other out there with our cameras. Thanks for sharing! 😀👍

[@wollertz]

Awesome! You'll love Brookings!

[@stumptowntravelers4013]

thanks for the list!!! will definitely check these out when the weather gets warmer.

[@wollertz]

Great! enjoy!!

[@susiesturman8180]

LOVE IT! As someone who grew up on the southern Oregon coast and as a 5th generation Oregon native, THANK YOU for showcasing some of my favorite places. My absolute favorite beach is Battle Rock, where my little brother and I spent countless hours of adventure!

[@wollertz]

Thank you! I bet growing up with battle rock in the "back yard" was awesome!

[@kharakim]

Nicely done. Thanks for taking the time to prepare it and share it.

[@wollertz]

Thank you! I love the coast, and had a blast making the video!

[@christinerogers3249]

Great video. Great perspective of our coast. I don't know when you will be back here. If you have not seen the windsurfers in Pistol River, it is great fun!! Thank you again. Look forward to your videos.

[@wollertz]

I appreciate all the tips! thank you so much! I'll probably be back next winterish, there's so many places and things to see and photograph and I ran out of time. I'll have to organize myself and plan ahead a bit more than what I did this year. Thanks again for all the support and help!

I hope to see you all in Florence. I will wear a Circles in the Sand shirt to work tomorrow to advertise the labyrinth. I am sorry that I will miss it but I can encourage others to be there.😊

Awesome, Thank you! Bambi loves the beach!

[@luciehanson6250]

Just subscribed. Appreciate your coverage! As to Whaleshead: the rock itself looks exactly like that. Stormy days, it surely spouts!

[@wollertz]

Thank you! I didn’t realized it spouted happen until years after my first visit

[@theresepritchett1681]

Beautiful video! I really want to get to some of these beaches this year. It's been far to long since our last trip. Great comentary for each beach. Ps..I'm so glad my husband ( Ken @ S O Auto Care)told me about your yt page. He's been raving about your photography and he was right.

Thank you!! I love the Oregon Coast, and I had a fun time exploring it! much more to see though!!

I was there last September, will be back in Bandon in October, excellent fish n chips. love the coastline there.

[@wollertz]

Some day I'll head north and explore the north coast, But for now, the southern part is my favorite!!

[@luciehanson6250]

Heading North 101. Winchuck River bridge. Take the 1st left after bridge(unmarked). No facilities, but great river and ocean access. Warm and calm, lots of treasures! Just got home to Sonoma Co.

[@wollertz]

I’ll check it out next time I’m at the coast! Thanks

[@luciehanson6250]

@@wollertz Just south of Brookings. Also the Winchuck River road, to the east, is a delight. Great smooth rock formations inland.

[@luciehanson6250]

@@wollertz You're a photographer! The rocks out The Winchuck River Rd are in a photo worthy environment. Great shadows through the trees.

@@luciehanson6250 good to know! Thank you so much!

[@christinerogers3249]

PS. In August the Osprey at the Jetty in Gold Beach are wonderful to watch and Photograph.

[@wollertz]

That sounds like Ill have to do a special trip to go photograph! Whats a good lens for something like that? I have a 70-200 and a 100-400 I also have a 1.4 teleconverter that helps. Ive gone to shoot the Bald Eagles in Coeur d' Alene Idaho and even rented longer lenses, but they were so close to me that the 70-200 was more than enough.

[@PortlandEventFilms]

What is the best one for drone shoots I have an elopement in brooking coming up.

[@wollertz]

It totally depends what you want in view, and how far out you want to hike, I find secret beach looks amazing with the sea stacks, Myers creek beach is also beautiful with no hike, but a lot of the Sea Stacks there are considered wildlife/wilderness areas or No Fly zone, for long sandy beaches, The dunes at pistol river are great

[@gregoryhagen8801]

How could you leave out Thunder Rock Cove? It's so otherworldly looking. & secluded.

[@wollertz]

I’ll check it out, never heard of it, I asked tons of people and no one mentioned it

[@wollertz]

Found it, Its the backside of Secret Beach with out the beach access, been there many times, beautiful but notarially beach fromSecret beach at low tide Ive walked most of the way out there, and it is beautiful, but the official trail doesn't take you to the beach (as far as I know)

[@theprince6590]

What about reef ? CAn you find any rock reef form ? I’m referring to those rocks with little holes not coral

[@wollertz]

Theres a reef near Shore Acres, Simpson Reef and Shell Island, but it's not really a beach to hike or hang out, Theres a good viewpoint and lots of marine life hang out and live there. And all through the coast you can find rocks, and I think I know what you mean and yes I have seen lots of rocks with little holes.

[@NoOneReallySpecial]

Oregon beaches are hard to see reefs because the water is cold/wild, the shores are usually rocky, and the weather is usually stormy or cold there, so it's hard to see more than tide pools, a rare whale sighting, and sea lions.

[@CountryTravel-b1r]

What about reef?

[@wollertz]

Just south of shore acres? What about it?

[@franciemacleod1676]

You forgot Hell's Kitchen.

[@wollertz]

Can’t say I’ve heard of Hell’s Kitchen, I know Devils kitchen in Bandon, but I’m not familiar with Hell’s Kitchen, I’ll have to look it up! Thanks for the tip!!

[@tanyaharo1929]

Our family is going soon, is there any way you could show the specific locations for the places you mentioned, like the secret beach and natural bridges? Can’t seem to find it on any maps.. Love the content!

[@wollertz]

you can load them in google maps when you have service, there's also signs for most of the viewpoints along the way, Secret Beach and Natural Bridges are very close to each other about 11 miles north of Brookings, the parking lots are usually fairly busy and hard to miss, If you have All Trails hiking app, this can help you locate them. Remember to load the maps when you have service as a lot of the coast doesn't! Enjoy your trip!
