I spent Monday night, March 9th, camping on the beach via the Tahkenitch Dunes Loop near Reedsport, OR.
I went with my dog Brook, @aussiebrook, so we had to go this week since the area does not allow dogs from March 15 - September 15 due to the snowy plover nesting areas.
The inland portion of the loop does take you through a really nice Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fur forest to a high point of about 400 ft.
Overall it was a fabulous trip since the weather was perfect including a full moon. Overall this is a really nice 6 mile loop backpacking or hiking option especially in the Fall and Winter. My trip report can be found at https://adventurecontinues.org/2020/03/ ... dunes-loop
