Editor's Notes
This Lincoln City beach sits at the mouth of the D River, which once held the Guinness record as the 'World's Shortest River' — a dash of roughly 120 feet from Devils Lake to the Pacific.

The D River flows just 120 ft. from Devils Lake into the ocean at this state-administered area.
