About this park
This sandstone headland just north of Pacific City offers one of the best viewpoints on the coast for witnessing the ocean's power. It is one of three landmarks on the Three Capes Scenic Route, with Cape Meares and Cape Lookout. A steep climb up the towering dune is rewarded with views of waves pummeling rugged, twisting rocks and crevices. Because sandstone is fragile, the ocean is constantly reshaping the cape. Some services are reduced, so check the park notice before visiting.
