Cape Foulweather, Oregon Coast

4. Cape Foulweather Lookout

The Lookout is perched atop this promontory rising 500 feet above sea level and from its windows can be seen the crashing surf along the shore, sea birds nesting on the rocks, sea lions basking in the sun, fleets of fishing boats in search of salmon, ocean liners whose wisps of smoke string out along the far horizon. Whale Watching, unbelievable sunsets, and the peaceful calm which follows the violence of a sudden storm.

This state wayside between Depoe Bay and Otter Rock offers good views but has no facilities.
