Nye Beach Turnaround Extreme High Tide
Virtual Tour of Newport, Oregon Coast

Here, an unusually high tide laps at the boundaries of the Nye Beach Turnaround. Normally, the tide is far away, creating a broad, sandy beach. This is an extreme and unusual high tide event.

Below: another part of Nye Beach during the same high tide surges. Note the absolute lack of escape if you're there and a fast-moving wave comes in.
