Short Beach, Sandy shore in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States.
Short Beach extends for 1,000 meters along the northern Oregon coast, featuring a mix of sandy areas and stone-covered sections between Cape Meares and Oceanside.
The wooden stairway access to Short Beach was constructed in 2000 through community efforts after multiple injuries occurred on the previously hazardous muddy slope.
The beach belongs to the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, providing essential nesting grounds for numerous coastal birds and marine species throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the beach via marked wooden stairs from Cape Meares Loop road, with parking space limited to approximately twelve vehicles.
Two waterfalls cascade from the surrounding cliffs onto the beach, while Short Creek creates an additional water feature flowing directly into the Pacific Ocean.
