Tokatee Klootchman State Wayside on Central Oregon Coast: Unobtainable Beauty

(Florence, Oregon) – Along that winding, somewhat mysterious stretch of highway north of Florence, where the central Oregon coast is still unobtainable, plunging cliffs and not the vast dunes of Florence, one little site provides access to the otherwise unreachable.
It’s not great or comfortable access. Tokatee Klootchman State Wayside boasts a small but nastily steep path that can get you down to a chunk of shoreline that’s shut off from humans in any other way. Thus, it’s truly a hidden stretch of beach. That often-muddy, slippery path isn’t advisable for everyone, unless you’ve got excellent shoes and a sense of adventure. But for those who make it down, there’s some incredible treasures here in the way of basalt slabs and indescribable shapes, all in a compact cove that has some wacky history.
