Locals guess that both the beach and the creek that runs onto it—Short Creek, several miles in length—were named after an early resident of the area. [citation needed] Just south of Cape Meares State Park, and a bit north of Oceanside, the beach is hidden from the land except for a brief stretch of road which crosses the dam across Short Creek.
The state park also contains Neahkahnie Mountain, Short Sand Beach, Short Sand Creek, Necarney Creek, Cape Falcon, Smugglers Cove and the Oregon Coast Trail. The cove is a popular surf destination and is known as "Short Sands". [2] Urban legend claims pirate treasure is buried near Smugglers Cove but has never been found.
