Crescent Beach is a secluded beach featuring tide pools and caves tucked inside Ecola State Park, accessible via a 1.5 mile hiking trail. Despite the popularity of Ecola State Park, the long hike to reach Crescent Beach’s shores keeps it from drawing a crowd.

If you’ve got the time for the hike, this might be your best bet to find a little zen on the Oregon coast.
