Fun beach to hang out and drive on. The entrance off of 10th street had some fluffy sand and is where we saw most cars get stuck. Just stay right of the sign and don't lose momentum and even 2wd vehicles can make it through.

We ran the beach, North to South, from Gearhart and back at a fairly low tide and it was open all the way to the jetty at the north. The sand from the end of the pavement to the wet sand was extremely soft and deep, we didn't air-down so some speed was needed to get through. were able to "drive through" the ship wreck which was cool and saw a few Bald Eagles. There were many varying rigs on the beach from monster 1-ton crew cab diesels to AWD mini-vans. If you are in the area and have a 4wd or even AWD vehicle, go experience beach driving.

What a great drive. Everyone had fun on the ride. The ocean looked incredible and every so often the waves come crashing in a little further and your driving in ocean water. The most fun was the flocks of birds that take off and fly around your vehicle is formation as they peel off and speed away. If you think Voodoo donuts are good you have to come out and make donuts on the Oregon Coast. Most of the time we were alone on the beach and lots of sand to play in.

The Oregon coast was an awesome drive! Very windy though! The ship wreck was cool to check out

Always a great stretch of beach to drive on. Some spots can get soft so always good to travel with recovery boards or a buddy!
