Brookings

This is a 12-mile stretch of highway located north of Brookings that features multiple outcroppings and viewpoints. Have your camera ready as you stop at the likes of Cape Ferrelo Viewpoint, Whaleshead Beach, and House Rock Viewpoint. Many of these stops have trails down to the beach, ranging from a short path to a couple miles of hiking. See if you can find the entrance to Secret Beach, located at the northernmost end of the Corridor.

Stop here for lunch. This place specializes in wood-fired pizzas made from hand-tossed dough. You'll also find plenty of craft beer on the menu, as well as hot wings and salads. This quirky spot has neat decorations and a friendly ambiance. Eating here will ensure you aren't hungry during your afternoon adventures. Be aware -- Zola's on the Water is closed on Tuesdays.

Oregon has a few groves of redwoods, and this is one of them. Walk a 1.7-mile loop through this forest and you’ll see many old-growth redwoods. They are smaller than the California redwoods, but worth a stop all the same. This is the northern range limit for redwoods, and visitors to Brookings will be awestruck by this magnificent tree. The trail itself is not wheelchair-accessible, though the visitor’s center at the trailhead is.

If you’ve spent a large part of today by the beach and want something a little different, stop by Azalea Park, Brookings’ large, multi-use greenspace. There’s a giant play structure for kids, and a bandshell where you can catch an outdoor concert. Horseshoe pits, sports facilities and a picnic area make it a perfect place for a summer afternoon.

This high-end eatery in Brookings is a nice place to end your four-day excursion. Serving classic dishes with an Italian flair, you’ll find that Black Trumpet Bistro uses fresh ingredients and makes many of their signature ingredients from scratch, such as their creamy house-made ricotta. This relaxed, family-owned restaurant is just off of US-101. Be aware -- Black Trumpet Bistro is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
