At first glance, the Neskowin Ghost Forest, some 15 miles north of Lincoln City, Oregon, looks like the eerie remnants of an old pier. In fact, the beachfront spectacle at Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site is made of a couple dozen barnacle-coated Sitka spruce tree stumps from a decimated 2,000-year-old forest. The best time to get the full effect is during the winter, when tides are at their lowest, and particularly following a storm. Photo credit: Race Jones/Outlive Creative
