Devil's Churn

Devil's Churn is a rugged and spectacular slot in the basaltic cliffs at Cape Perpetua, where the eternal restless energy of the ocean waves is concentrated by the narrowing rocks.  A visitor center with parking and rest rooms adjoins the highway near milepost 166 on US 101 on the Oregon coast, south of Yachats.  A network of trails traverses a deeply forested headland above crashing surf.  A paved trail with stairs descends to the cove and the sheet of basalt rock extending into the ocean.  The beach access number is  78 .  The Restless Waters trail connects to Cove Beach  79 .

This is one of many must-see attractions in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area.
