"Located just north of Brookings, Harris Beach is the southern-most site mentioned on this list of the best tidepools at the Oregon coast. To get to the highest concentration of sea life, walk along the short trail that leads directly to the beach, where vibrant starfish rub elbows with soft anemones and shy hermit crabs."
