Mostly, Neskowin is one giant beach, with sands running northward uninturrupted from the bottom of Cascade Head, through Winema Beach, to the edge of the Nestucca Bay - about five or six miles.

Funky features and colors populate the very southern end, seen above.

It's not always calm, of course. Winter storms bring plenty of hazards, as with any Oregon coast beach. During heavier rains or higher tides, getting to Proposal Rock and the Ghost Forest can be a problem as the creek can get wild, and you have to cross this sometimes angry body of water.
