Cape Falcon
The trail along the coast has beautiful views of the roaring Pacific. This is an in and out hike ending at the rocky spit, Cape Falcon and gorgeous scenery. Hiking boots are required because the trail has mud and exposed roots. The drive from Salem is about 3 hrs. I recommend people overnight on the coast and we'll meet at Short Sands Beach at the trailhead. Make reservations sooner rather than later. The alternative is a long, long day.
