GIMME A BREAKER! A 47-ft. U.S. Coast motor patrol boat from Depoe Bay recently took on a storm-tossed surf at Wade Creek Pullout, an unimproved state park located a mile south of Beverly Beach State Park on Hwy. 101.

The site, popular with rockhounds and anglers, is sometimes used as a training ground to keep the four-person crews ready for close-in water rescues. (Photos by Rick Beasley)
