Tidal Oregon coast with the iconic Proposal Rock sea stack and exposed 'ghost forest' stumps at low tide—great for dramatic coastal compositions, long exposures of surf, and moody storm light. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm sidelighting; winter storms add drama, low tide reveals stumps and tidal pools. Small parking lot and short trail to the sand; free day-use site. Check tide charts and weather; weekdays reduce crowds.
