If you're up for a little trip south, there's a state park in Yachats called Smelt Sands. The turn off is right before you hit town proper. That place at sunset with an incoming tide is magic.

To the left is a volcano rock beach & it's a great place to get those great shots of water jetting up. Directly ahead of the entrance are craggy rocks that are fun to climb. There's a sharp drop off, so there's some great angles for the sunset shots with light gleaming through rolling green waves.

Haven't been in over 10 years & I'm a bit homesick for it.
