There is no question, this is one of the most beautiful scenic spots on the entire Oregon Coast.
Along the southern Oregon Coast, lies a scenic corridor that just may literally take your breath away, and for good reason.
The Samuel H. Boardman corridor, with a very particular notable stop, here, at Natural Bridges.
If you're on Instagram like me, always searching for new places to explore, then you may recognize this spot.
It's definitely "Instagram famous".
Without giving too much detail, you have two options at this particular pull-off.
1. Walk 30 feet to the viewing deck to see everything at a glance (you won't be disappointed).
2. Make the trek through the forest and down the steep dangerous cliff for up close and in person "Instagram famous" views.
Dangerous is not used lightly here. The unofficial trail starts easily through the coast forest for less than 1/4 a mile.
After that, the last 1/4 mile is a steep decline with exposed edges of a 50 foot drop to the bottom.

From this view, there is nothing but dirt and slick tree roots to get you down the steep decline.
Slow movements and sturdy hiking boots are highly advised.
Once you've reached the bottom to the main natural bridge after the grueling descent, sit back, enjoy God's beauty, and take lots of pictures!
Revel in the natural raw beauty of the unique Oregon Coast before you.
Shoutout to this dude, who was in the middle of creating his own content, and stopped to help me with mine! (I asked if he would pose for a picture, he said absolutely).
Whether from the viewpoint, or up close and personal from the dangerous hike down, this is one of the most beautiful places that definitely deserves your attention!
