Devils Punchbowl State Natural Area — Attraction in Newport

First I want to explain exactly how to get into the Devil's Punch Bowl. This took me a hot minute to figure out the entrance(Actually inside the bowl). First...please go during low tide. When driving to Devil's Punch bowl.. you will pass some stairs to your left that say beach access. Also this is where you will see the surfers headed. This is not the way Exactly across from these stairs to your right is a parking area. This is probably the closes public parking to get inside the bowl. If this is full there is parking at the viewpoint, which is just straight on the same street you will see the stairs where the 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️ is on your left and then the parking lot on your right. If you continue straight you will reach the view point of Devil's Punch bowl. This will have you above the bowl so you will be looking down at it. Now if you want to go inside it, the parking lot I mentioned on the right side before you reach the view point. You will walk right and you will see some stairs also that say beach access. Once you reach the beach, enjoy the view and tide pools. Also there's a small waterfall to your right. But to get to the entrance of the bowl you will walk left and eventually see it. Always pay attention to the...

Unique little area off the beaten path, or in this case, down 100 steps. Beautiful ocean view for those who can get down the stairs. The punchbowl area offers many small tidal pools and warm and easy access to swim in the Pacific. Front row view of the surf crowd, and if you know where to find them, even some caves to explore. Warm sandy areas and spots suited for posting up a day tent and some chairs. Back up the stairs and into the state park area, there is a nice grassy area, a public bathroom (well maintained), some picnic benches, and plenty of street parking. Local shops include Mo's, where the fish and chips are the best, and I would recommend the Playdough ice cream at the ice cream shop next door. Dogs welcome, leashes required. It gets a bit windy up there, so a light sweater may be a good thing to have on hand. Overall, it was a great little place to visit if you don't mind walking around and if your up for spending...

While adventuring down the Oregon Coast, Vancity Adventure made a stop at one of the most dramatic natural formations we’ve seen yet — Devil’s Punch Bowl. This collapsed sea cave is a swirling cauldron of ocean power, and when the tide is high, it puts on a wild, thundering show that’s both awe-inspiring and humbling.

We arrived just before high tide, and the waves crashing inside the bowl were incredible. The roar, the spray, and the sheer force of nature reminded us exactly why we chase moments like this. It’s the kind of place where you just stop, breathe it in, and let the ocean do the talking.

There’s an easy-to-access viewing area, and the spot is perfect for photos, short video clips, and drone shots (conditions permitting). If you’re visiting in the summer, don’t miss the nearby trail down to the beach — it’s a local surf spot with epic views and plenty of...
