Oregon Coast Headlands spans a 50-mi2 region of rugged cliffs, rocky coves, and expansive beaches along Oregon's southernmost coastal corridor. The area is characterized by sharp bluffs carved by winds and waves, access points to raw saltwater surf, and historic lighthouse sites perched above narrow inlets. Visitors come to hike the multi-use trails, watch for sea avian and marine mammals, and enjoy vistas of the cascade of sky meeting sea at every turn. Facilities are typically limited, emphasizing natural landscape and outdoor recreation—pack accordingly for changing weather and variable footing.
