| Boiler Bay State Scenic Viewpoint is a rugged, basalt-rimmed bay, Boiler Bay is a popular place to watch wild surf action on the rocky spurs. This panoramic viewpoint presents a good opportunity to see migrating and resident gray whales. Take your binoculars -- this is one of the best sites in Oregon to see ocean-going birds (like shearwaters, jaegers, albatrosses, grebes, pelicans, loons, oystercatchers and murrelets). In 1910, an explosion sank the J. Marhoffer, and visitors can see the ship's boiler at low-tide. A short, rough trail takes you to some of Oregon's richest tide pools. |
