Harris State Park is home to the largest island off the Oregon Coast, known as Bird Island or Goat Island. It is a designated National Wildlife Sanctuary and is a crucial breeding ground for rare birds, including the tufted puffin. The park includes picturesque sandy beaches and rocky outcroppings with fascinating tide pools filled with a wealth of marine life. There is a spacious campground with multiple site options, including yurts and a hiker/biker camp, making it a fantastic spot for day visits and overnight stays.

This viewpoint offers stunning panoramic views high above the Pacific Ocean. It is a fantastic place to see whales during the fall and spring migrations, and if you're lucky enough to visit during these times, you'll see them feeding very close to the edge of the shoreline. There is a memorial here that faces the ocean, commemorating Samuel H. Boardman, the first Oregon State Parks superintendent. He is responsible for preserving much of the beautiful beaches and forests along the Oregon Coast for visitors to enjoy for years to come.

This offshore sea stack strikingly resembles the head of a whale, and when waves crash against it just right, the spray looks like a whale spouting. This remarkable formation is the largest sea stack near the coastline, and is the inspiration for the name of the beautiful surrounding beach.

The natural bridges, a highlight of the Samuel H. Boardman Corridor, are impressive sea arches carved by the Pacific Ocean over thousands of years. While unofficial trails lead to the cliffs, they can be dangerous due to steep drop-offs, so be very cautious if you choose to explore them—crossing the lower bridge is not recommended. Set against a backdrop of dramatic cliffs, sea stacks and the beautiful waters of the Pacific, this area is also known for its diverse wildlife and stunning sunsets. It is popular with photographers, especially on overcast days or early in the morning when the light is soft, to capture perfect images of these incredible formations.

This viewpoint offers a fantastic perspective of the massive natural rock arch standing alone in the Pacific Ocean. There are several shaded picnic tables here and a small loop trail that winds around the cliff edge, providing incredible views of the coast and Arch Rock.

The Rogue River Bridge, also known as the Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge, was completed in 1932 and named after the Oregon governor who advocated for its construction. It offers a fantastic view where the Rogue River meets the Pacific Ocean. As you cross the bridge, you will likely see a variety of boats on the river, including fishing vessels, pleasure crafts, and the famous Rogue River jet boats. Keep an eye out for coastal birds such as seagulls and pelicans, and during migration seasons, you might even spot whales in the distance.

Otter Point Recreation Site is a secret paradise on the Oregon Coast. This unmarked gem requires insider knowledge to find, but a short, effortless walk from the parking area leads to the breathtaking Otter Point, a sandstone peninsula high above the Pacific. On a clear day, you can see nearly 100 miles of coastline, from Cape Blanco down to northern California. There are beaches on either side of the point, perfect for finding your own secluded spot to enjoy this beautiful place.
