Yaquina Head

Yaquina Head is a headland extending into the Pacific Ocean north of Newport, in the U.S. state of Oregon.  It is the site of the Yaquina Head Light, and is managed as Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area by the Bureau of Land Management.  (Wikipedia)

Attractions include:

• Yaquina Head Light
• Sea birds and seals on offshore sea stacks
• Peregrine falcons on rock cliffs
• Cobble Beach (with tidepool access)
• Salal Hill Trail, long beach views
• Interpretive Center in reclaimed basalt rock quarry
• Quarry Cove Trail
• Communications Hill Trail

There is a $7 fee to drive into the ONA, but it's well worth it to enjoy a few hours exploring this special place.  Take Lighthouse Drive west from near milepost 137 on US 101.
