lineup at neskowin
The last time I was at Neskowin, the tide was low enough (and the Little Nestucca River shallow enough) that I was able to wade over to the south side of the beach, where the ghost forest can be seen at low tide. I still haven't been able to find public access to this south side without having to cross the river, which isn't always possible. The new housing development on the south side is gated, and even if you try to walk through the area on the streets there are "private" signs up everywhere. It sucks. What good is having a state with public beaches if you can't get to them? I suppose they figure that if you really wan to get to the south side of the beach, you'll cross the river that flows towards Proposal Rock, but there are times when that would be downright dangerous. Sigh. Ah well.
