A closer look....
Named for St. Perpetua by Captain James Cook in March of 1778, Siuslaw National Forest’s Cape Perpetua National Scenic Area is the dramatic meeting place of two distinct but joined landscapes; dense and complex forests and the Pacific Ocean.
Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve is located a couple of miles south of Yachats and is one of the most unique ecosystems in the Pacific. It’s part of Oregon’s Marine Reserve Program and is the largest of the five reserves encompassing around 55 square miles of nearshore areas. In that area exists the reserve, two Marine Protected Areas, and a Seabird Protection Area. It is considered by many as one of the most biodiverse places on our country’s Pacific coastline.
In the middle of the shot are several impressive tidal water features that draw spectators and photographers: Thor's Well, Spouting Horn, Loki's Revenge and nearby Devil's Churn. A treat for the eyes and ears.
The Cape itself rises to just over 800 feet, is the highest point accessible by automobile on the Oregon coast and is the perfect venue for whale watching and unbeatable scenic vistas.
Thanks for taking a look!
