Cape Perpetua, Yachats, Oregon
Oregon Coast · Hiking · Views
Perched 800 feet above the Pacific, the West Shelter Viewpoint at Cape Perpetua Scenic Area is the highest point you can drive on the Oregon Coast. From here the views are spectacular stretching 70 miles down the coastline and almost 40 miles out to sea! In World War II, the stone shelter was used as a lookout. Today, it is a popular spot for whale watching.
Other not to be missed attractions at Cape Perpetua include Thor’s Well, Devils Churn and Cook’s Chasm. There are twenty-six miles of hiking trails, old growth forests and some cool tidepools to check out too.
