Named by Captain Cook on his voyage to the north Pacific in 1778, Cape Foulweather rises 500 feet above the ocean, providing sweeping views from Yaquina Lighthouse in the south to Cascade Head in the north. If you stand at the scenic viewpoint on a sunny summer day, you are likely to see gray whales cavorting and feeding in the kelp beds offshore, seabirds resting on the Cape’s sheer cliffs, and waves rushing on to the rocks below. You’ll feel the wind in your face and your lungs will fill with the freshest of air.

Nowhere is the wild spirit of the Central Oregon Coast captured better than at Cape Foulweather. Today we have the opportunity to preserve this special place for our families and friends to enjoy in the future.
