Cape Cove

Cape Cove has a pocket beach between tree-clad rocky promontories in the scenery-packed Cape Perpetua area.  A small gravel and sand pull-out near milepost 167 on US 101 offers parking for only a few cars.  A trail leads through wind-twisted coastal trees and salal brush down to the beach.

Only three miles south of Yachats, but close to the Lincoln/Lane county line, this rugged stretch of the Oregon coast feels remote.  Much of the human presence is parks.  The area is mostly without cell phone service.  It's a scenic wonderland, however, and popular with travelers.
