The Skunk Cabbage (why?) trail starts just north of Orick, and leads through the coastal ranges to a viewpoint after about 2 miles. Continue down another 2 miles to the sandy stormy shores to be battered by gale-force winds amongst washed-up timbers. A short hike, very easy to do. It is possible to continue north up on another trail, but did not have time to explore this.
