Devils Punch Bowel Depoe Bay -
DEVILS PUNCH BOWL STATE NATURAL AREA near Depoe Bay, Oregon
A large sea cave carved from sandstone had its roof collapse after
centuries of wave erosion.
That process continues through two openings in the
seaward wall. From atop, you can gaze down as the waves continue to brew. A
trail to the north leads down to some nice tide pools where you can spot sea
urchins and starfish. To the south and east, there are picnic tables and a
walkway down to access the northern end of Beverly Beach - popular with surfers.
There is also a small restaurant - Otter Rock Mo's - one of a local chain
centered in nearby Newport - and the small Flying Dutchman winery. The Devil is
a popular figure along the Coast with several features named for him/her:
Devil's Lake, Devil's Elbow, Devil's Churn, Devil's Punchbowl....
Surfers and surf watchers energize this area! During winter storms,
water from
the restless ocean slams with a thundering roar into a hollow
rock formation
shaped like a huge punch bowl. The surf churns, foams, and
swirls as it mixes a
violent brew. The punch bowl was probably created by
the collapse of the roof
over two sea caves, then shaped by wave action. The
park is a popular whale
watching site and displays an intriguing geology.
This is a scenic picnic spot
atop the undulating rocky shoreline. Dont
forget to explore the tidepools.
