Cape Perpetua Viewpoint
the sea heaves, sighs, swirls, turns
crashes out to its own tune
Located just south of the fishing village of Yachats, Cape Perpetua boasts one of the best views on the Oregon coast. The Cape Perpetua Scenic Area encompasses 2,700 acres of land, with twice the botanical mass per square acre as South America's Amazon jungle. On a clear day, drive or hike to the Cape Perpetua Viewpoint,800 feet above the crashing surf, and gaze some 40 miles out to sea and over more than 150 miles of shoreline. You can also peer down at countless tide pools, Spouting Horn, and Devil's Churn, a crack in the rock where waves explode and spray water hundreds of feet into the air
