You are looking for nice viewpoints? Then look no further and don't skip Yachats State Recreation Area! Have a seat at one of the benches and spent as much time as you like, while watching the ocean and hoping for whale sightings.
This small park has incredible views of the ocean and Cape Perpetua. The excellent Ocean View Road leads to/from the park and is wonderful riding as well. This is a great little detour from the 101.
