Otter Rock and Devil's Punchbowl State Park is just a few miles north of Newport, OR. This is a great spot to view whales.
This is Otter Rock. We did not see any otters, but we did see whales. I don't have pictures. You will just have to take my word.
the Devil's Punchbowl.
During a real high tide, the water gushes and foams inside the punchbowl. It is stated that the punchbowl was probably created by the collapse of the roof over a sea cave.
Looking far south, you can see the Yaquina Head Lighthouse.
Looking north at the rugged coast.
This is a wider view of the Punchbowl. The "bowl" will the in the upper right.
If you look real close, the little black specks are people that are surf boarding. The water is real cold so they have to wear wet suits.
