Some the best photo ops on the Oregon coast---breaking waves at the shore or wonderful shots of the coast line from high on the ridge.

Cape Perpetua has some of the most fantastic views you can find on the Oregon Coast. When I am feeling like I need some fresh air or a mood change I drive to the top and just look around. You can either hike the trail to the top or drive up. Either way you are in for a beautiful view.

Cape Perpetua and the surrounding area is the most beautiful spot along the Oregon Coast. The view from atop Perpetua will make you ponder the wonders of the universe. :)

The view, the hike, the ride - we loved it all. After going up for the view, go down to the water and check out Devil's Churn.

Many have talked about driving in parking and walking down to the beach - and this is very cool. But this area has so much more if you are willing to hike a bit. The first hike is up to the viewpoint - not that difficult or that far. You can drive it too - but more fun and better... More

Don't miss this area on your trip to the coast. A great variety of coastal and inland hikes to see old growth forest.

Highly recommend going to the viewing point of Cape Perpetua. Amazing views on a clear day. Also lovely walks in Cape Perpetua itself. Thanks to Mary-Lou in the visitors centre for all the helpful info on hikes and the Oregon Coast.

There is a good information center here and they have a theater where they will put on any of the historical films about the area. The hike to the top is less than 2 miles and there are vistas at each switch back. The view down the coast is well worth the climb.

you can see along the coast and out in the ocean. Right time of year you may see orcas and/or gray whales. Drive up the steep hill is worth it.
