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.
