The Devil's Churn
After years of erosion, the Pacific Ocean has cut away at the rock along the Oregon coast line. At Devil's Churn, the rock has been cut to a point, allowing the high tide to swell and churn 1000s of gallons of water.

This is a fantastic little hike with many spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean along the way.

After going through a tunnel under the coastal highway, you emerge with views like this surrounding you.

If you have a good eye and a bit of luck, in the distance you can see whales migrating!

Zooming in, you can see a whale surfacing and blowing air through its blow hole.

While the views are spectacular, the hiking path is also quite lovely.

For those familiar with the Oregon Coast, this hike is just north of Thor's Well and extremely fun!
