MOMENTOUS N
MOMENTS
o matter how many times I travel
along these 363 miles, the Oregon Coast
continues to amaze me. Although it's always
a different experience from day to day and
season to season, it never fails to provide a
"wow." One of my favorite stops on the South
Oregon Coast is Cape Arago, a required side
trip off Highway 101 for any traveler, in my
opinion. It's a drive of less than a half-hour
from downtown Coos Bay or North Bend
to reach a remarkable string of three State
Parks along this spectacular cape. You start
with a scenic view of Sunset Bay, a protected
cove and beach with rocky reefs and islands
guarding its mouth. As you continue, views
of the Cape Arago Lighthouse emerge before
you reach Shore Acres State Park and one of
the most amazing viewpoints in Oregon. It's
known for great wave action year-round, but
when storms whip up huge swells, there's no
other place like it. The reefs and cliff sides
turn incoming waves into explosions that
resemble fi reworks, then water cascades
like a waterfall down richly textured rock
formations. I'm always entranced by this
constantly changing scene, making it difficult
for me to leave as I convince myself to stay for
"just one more wave." On this visit, the sun
broke out for a few minutes between showers
and rainbows appeared and dissolved with
each momentous crash. Nearby, Simpson
Reef is usually active with sea lions whose
bellowing echoes throughout the area. Finally,
Cape Arago State Park denotes the end of
the road with expansive views and access
to colorful intertidal areas. Hike the length
of this stunning cape in spring and you're
likely to enjoy wildflower-dotted trails
and catch glimpses of seals nursing
their newborns. Although Cape Arago
is exceptional, it's not an exception. The
momentous Oregon Coast has many
surprises in store for your next visit.

THE
OREGON
COAST
W
With 363 miles of spectacular, the Oregon Coast offers
seemingly endless public access to long stretches of soft
sandy beaches, stunning vistas of jagged rocky shoreline and
astounding spectacles of nature from one end to the other.
Rainforest-covered headlands reach miles into the sea, the
result of millions of years-old lava flows and erosion carving a
landscape like no other on the planet. The largest expanse of
coastal sand dunes in North America stretches out along 40
miles of coast to provide sightseers and hikers an other-worldly
landscape to discover and ATV enthusiasts a playground of
epic proportion. Incredible displays of wildlife include some
of the world's best birdwatching, seals and sea lions basking
on rocky shores, Gray Whales that migrate along the coast by
the tens of thousands and Roosevelt Elk grazing in large herds
through meadows. Travelers discover unique towns ranging
from the Northwest's first US settlement in Astoria to cities
that grew from logging and fishing pasts and some of the most
beautiful beach resort towns anywhere. How do you choose
from 363 miles of spectacular? This guide to the Oregon Coast
will help you decide.

THE
NORTH
OREGON
COAST
S
Some of the Oregon Coast's great scenic viewpoints, lush
rainforest hiking trails, historical attractions and quaint
coastal communities can be discovered on Oregon's North
Coast. Visitors can explore Astoria, the oldest US settlement
west of the Rockies; Seaside, Oregon's first beach resort town
and very possibly the Northwest's favorite family destination;
Cannon Beach, a scenic wonderland and renowned art town;
and at least a dozen other small towns on the edges of scenic
beaches, rivers and bays. Beautiful natural areas like Ecola
State Park, Cape Meares, Oswald West State Park and Cape
Lookout offer stunning sights and scenic hikes. You can visit a
more than 100-year-old shipwreck at Fort Stevens State Park,
walk Seaside's historic oceanfront promenade and explore
tidepools at Oregon's iconic Haystack Rock. The region also
offers one of the best side trips off scenic Highway 101, the
Three Capes Scenic Route.

CANNON BEACH
Treasure Co
ASTORIA
Astoria, the oldest US settlement west
of the Rocky Mountains, was the first
commercial hub of the West Coast due
to its strategic position near the mouth
of the Columbia River. Today, a riverfront
walk offers views of the river, now busy
with cargo ships, rather than the sailing
ships of the earliest international traders. A
restored trolley also traverses the river front,
passing working waterfront buildings and
old cannery piers intermixed with hotels,
pubs and restaurants. The Columbia River
Maritime Museum is a top attraction on the
riverfront. Victorian homes climb the hillside
of Astoria and the top of town is crowned
with the Astoria Column, a lighthouselike structure built in the 1920s offering
panoramic views of the entire region.
FORT STEVENS STATE PARK
US 101 Milepost 6.5
Fort Stevens State Park stretches from
the south jetty of the Columbia River
south along a sandy beach where you
can still see the remains of a shipwreck
from over 100 years ago. Encompassing
4,200 acres, the Park includes a large
campground, a network of nine miles of
paved bicycle trails and six miles of hiking
trails that allow you to explore forests,
lakes, wetlands, dunes and beach. Visitors
can explore the military fortifications
that served to defend the Columbia River

The Central Oregon Coast invites visitors to discover some
of Oregon’s top natural attractions like Devil’s Punchbowl,
Spouting Horn, Yaquina Head and Devil’s Churn. Both
large and small communities offer unique experiences.
Newport’s attractions range from beaches to bay front with
two lighthouses, the graceful and historic Yaquina Bay
Bridge and the renowned Oregon Coast Aquarium. Lincoln
City features miles of sandy shore plus shopping and
dining delights. Smaller towns like Depoe Bay, Yachats and
Florence are gateways to remarkable landscapes including
the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, the Oregon Dunes National
Recreation Area and Cape Foulweather. Hikers will find
several miles of trails at Cape Perpetua and sightseers will
relish views of the Heceta Head Lighthouse, a sparkling
gem in a remarkable setting.

LINCOLN CITY
The town of Lincoln City extends along
a stretch of coastline covering more than
seven miles of US 101 and incorporates
several unique districts, once individual
communities. The city offers abundant
shopping including a large factory outlet
mall and attractions including Chinook
Winds Casino Resort and the Jennifer
Sears Glass Art Studio where visitors can
blow their own piece of art glass.
DEPOE BAY
The small town of Depoe Bay is known as
the Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon
Coast. The nearby waters are frequented by
Gray Whales that linger much of the year in
the area rather than migrating north with
most of the whale population. Oregon State
Parks operates the Whale Watching Center
at the south end of the seawall. When
tides are right, “spouting horns” below the
seawall put on a show as surging waves are
forced through small openings in the lava
beds shooting water like geysers up to 60
feet in the air. Depoe Bay is also home to the
world’s smallest navigable harbor and offers
charter fishing and whale watching tours.
Nearby Boiler Bay State Scenic Viewpoint
and the Otter Crest State Scenic Viewpoint
on Cape Foulweather are also great places
for wave and whale watching.

AREA & LIGHTHOUSE
NEWPORT
The Central Oregon Coast’s largest city
is home to popular attractions including
the Oregon Coast Aquarium and an
historic bay front area that is part working
waterfront and part tourist attraction with
shops and restaurants. Attractions include
Ripley's Believe It or Not, Wax Works wax
museum, marine life exhibits and dive
shows at Undersea Gardens, charter fishing
and marine life boat tours. The barking of
sea lions on the bay front docks frequently
resonates throughout the area and the
blubbery beasts always draw a crowd.
The historic and now trendy Nye Beach
district adjacent to Newport’s beachfront
is another commercial center. The Yaquina
Bay Lighthouse is located in the Yaquina
Bay State Recreation Site on the northwest
side of the Yaquina Bay Bridge at the bay
entrance, also offering good views of the
Cindy Hanson
The scenic headland reaches a mile into the
Pacific offering panoramic views, Oregon’s
tallest lighthouse and access to a beautiful
intertidal area. Small offshore islands offer
habitat for seabirds and Harbor Seals while
Gray Whales are often spotted in the waters,
even during the non-migratory seasons.
A stairway leads to Cobble Beach and
one of Oregon’s seven protected Marine
Garden intertidal areas, a great place to
see purple sea urchins and many other
interesting creatures. A second intertidal
area, Quarry Cove, offers handicap access.
An interpretive center features exhibits on
the lighthouse history and the natural and
cultural history of the area.

Area located just to the south. The Yachats

CAPE PERPETUA
SCENIC AREA
Enjoy spectacular highway wayside
viewpoints for a brief stop or spend the day
hiking though diverse scenic landscapes
including old growth rainforest, beaches
and dramatic rocky shores. The Devils
Churn Viewpoint overlooks a deep narrow
channel in the basalt headland where
waves are channeled with great force,
booming and crashing as they collide with
the rocks, then raining down as misty
showers of ocean spray. At Cook’s Chasm,
visitors can be mesmerized by the action
of the rocky shoreline. When tides are right,
waves surge up the chasm, forcing water
through a hole in the rock that erupts like a
geyser of spray and foam a natural wonder
known as Spouting Horn. On the rocky
shoreline plateau just to the northwest
of the Cook’s Chasm viewpoint is Thor’s
Well, a hole in the lava shelf where water
surges out of the opening, then drains
back like a hole in the ocean, creating a

ASK OREGON:
Coast Explorer publisher
Gary Hayes answers questions
from travelers as Travel Oregon's
"Ask Oregon" expert for the
Oregon Coast.
Question:
I am planning to drive the
length of the Oregon Coast
during the spring whale
migration with my mom who
is confined to a wheel chair.
Can you recommend the best
accessible viewpoints and
whale watching areas?
Answer:
There are a number of wheel chair
accessible areas that offer stunning views
and many are great whale watching spots
as well. From north to south, some of the
stops you should consider would include
the following:
Seaside's Oceanfront Promenade:
A popular and active paved promenade
along Seaside's oceanfront.
Ecola State Park: Paved paths offer a
variety of panoramic views that are also
good for whale watching.
Oswald West State Park Highway
Viewpoints: Several turnouts on US 101 as
you skirt the edge of Neahkahnie Mountain
are great whale watching viewpoints.
Wayne Hoffman
C O A S T L INE S
Coquille Point in Bandon
Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint:
Paved paths lead to the end of the cape and a
lighthouse, a great spot for whale watching.
Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural
Area: Paved paths offer great views and
circle a scenic lighthouse. There's also a
wheelchair accessible intertidal area at
Quarry Cove. Seabirds, seals and whales
are common sightings.
Depoe Bay Whale Watch Center:
This is a facility operated by Oregon
State Parks that is one of the best whale
watching locations year-round with both
indoor and outdoor viewing areas. State
Parks personnel are on hand to help
visitors spot whales.
Cape Perpetua Scenic Area: A variety
of paved paths offer views from atop
the cape and along a scenic stretch of

oceanfront at Cook's Chasm for views
of Spouting Horn and Thor's Well. A
nearby paved overlook offers views of
Devil's Churn. The Visitor Center offers
a good whale watching viewpoint.
Heceta Head Lighthouse Highway
Viewpoints: Just south of Sea Lion
Caves are two small highway-side
viewpoints that offer wonderfully
scenic views of the beautiful Heceta
Head Lighthouse.
Oregon Dunes Day Use Area: Just
south of Florence, this dunes overlook
offers access to wheelchair accessible
viewing areas of the Oregon Dunes.
Wayne Hoffman
Shore Acres State Park: A muststop with paved trails along a cliffside
famous for great wave action, seals, sea
lions and whales. The formal gardens
of a one-time historic estate can also
be toured. Nearby, the Simpson Reef
overlook is one of the best places to
watch seal lions on the entire Oregon
Coast. Nearby Cape Arago State Park
also offers paved paths and overlooks
good for whale watching.
Coquille Point in Bandon: A network
of paved paths offers beautiful overlooks
of the many rock formations along
Bandon's scenic beach. The nearby Face
Rock viewpoint offers more great views
and a short paved pathway.
Arch Rock & Spruce Islands
Viewpoint: The Samuel H. Boardman
State Scenic Corridor offers a few nice
wheelchair accessible stops, but this is
my favorite. A few paved paths (some
a little rough) offer great views of a
scenic stretch of coastline.
Harris Beach State Park: Paved paths
at the day use area of the park offers
nice views of the rock strewn shoreline.
This is my "short list" of don't miss
accessible locations. There are many
others. I would allocate 7-9 days to
explore these areas and fi nd your own
special places.

SPRING WHALE WATCH
V
isitors can spot migrating Gray Whales with the assistance of trained interpreters March
19-26 during spring Whale Watch Week. Hundreds of volunteers will staff 26 sites along
the coast to help visitors spot migrating Gray Whales during this statewide program. The
Whale Watching Spoken Here program, coordinated by Oregon State Parks, coincides with what is
typically the peak of the Gray Whale migration. The spring migration offers the best opportunity
of the year to spot Gray Whales as they migrate north to food rich waters off Alaska. During the
spring migration, whales typically make a more leisurely trip, taking time to feed and pass closer
to the shore than on their migration south in winter. The northern migration can also stretch into
early summer as stragglers, such as mothers with calves, travel slower along this route. Find more
information on the Whale Watching Spoken Here program at oregonstateparks.org.

Art Outside the
Box in Bandon
Second Street Gallery in
Bandon features new paintings
by artist Daemian Hawthorne.
Using the simplest of materials,
Hawthorne creates a new
series of abstract paintings
in unusual two-dimensional
shapes. Unlike a traditional
rectangle canvas, Hawthorne's
use of non-traditional shapes
adds a sculptural quality to
the paintings. Bold color and
textured marks combine to
create a mood or invoke a
memory in the viewer. Second

mixed media piece that
incorporates traditional
Chinese watercolor
on silk, gold leaf and
wood. The Golden Egg
measures 20-inches wide
and is priced at $18,750.

thickening agents to the water to further enhance the possibilities
of visually sculpting with water. DragonFire Gallery, 123 S Hemlock,

LOOKING BACK
he 1910 photograph shows a group of college
students on a visit to Nye Beach in Newport. The
100-foot high sea stack named Jump-off Joe was a
well-known tourist attraction. During the late 1800s it
was connected to the mainland and was a major obstacle to
get around when walking on the beach. Over the years natural
forces separated it from the mainland and by 1990 it had been
swept away and little remains today.
