The Rocks of Pistol River
Located between Brookings and Gold Beach, this is one of the most photographed places on the southern Oregon coast. It is very accessible from Highway 101, which runs along the beach, and the rocks are huge and constantly bombarded by Pacific waves. A gradual beach slope makes for long expanses of rolling waves, and the retreating waves leave wet sand that is perfect for reflections. It is a favorite spot for wind surfers, beachcombers, photographers, and sightseers.

Randall Scholten replied
Thank you!!! It is a fine walking beach, especially during low tide. It’s a marvelous experience to walk among these giants! (And yes, I now use a D700… my D200 needs to be serviced)
