At a look out area and gift shop 500 feet above sea level, you can catch a spectacular view of Cape Foulweather. It's a great place to see whales and bald eagles. The gift shop has windows lining the outer wall overlooking the cape, with plenty of binoculars to borrow while inside the shop.

Visitor's at the Devil's Punch Bowl explore during low tide.
The Devils Punch Bowl is a great sight both during high tide and low tide. During low tide, you can actually walk down and into it. Careful to pay attention to the tide though. Getting caught inside during high tide would be very dangerous.

Thor's Well is located just South of Yachats. It's an exciting place to visit when the tide is coming in because the waves burst straight into the air through a hole in the rocky shoreline. Careful not to get too close to the ledge if you want to stay dry.
Something really exhilarating along the coast is Devil's Churn. The view is nice, but to really experienced it, walk down to the rocks. Here, you can feel the mountainside rumble each time a big wave comes in. Due to this, the best time to go is when the tide is coming in. It truly feels like the devil himself is knocking.
Jonathan Jones pears into the cavern the waves have carved into the mountain over the years. This is where the waves crash into to make the deep rumbling sound.
Aside from the many sights to see, there's plenty of marine life to see as well.
A small crab hides in a crack between rock formations where the brutal waves can't reach it.
Sea anemones start to close as the tide starts to change to low tide.
