Devil's Punchbowl
Otter Crest, Oregon Coast

11. Shady Picnic Tables

Just off Hwy 101 in Otter Rock, 8 miles north of Newport. Right here to Devil's Punchbowl State Park, (tables and fireplaces), 0.5 m. Immediately below a sandstone bluff is the Devil's Punchbowl, Where the incoming tidal waters rush through two openings in a deep, round cauldron to boil up, then recede. Offshore is Otter Rock, a sea-bird rookery. South of the entrance to the park, are the vestiges of railroad trestles used to transport spruce cut for airplane manufacture during the World War.
