Description
An interesting place to stop & take a very short hike near Yachats. The waves crash & splash very dramatically here. You can get as close as you want, though it's slippery in places & you really need to be careful not to get too close to the waves...
A short description from Wikipedia:
"Devils Churn is a narrow inlet of the Pacific Ocean in Lincoln County, Oregon, United States, south of Yachats. It is located in the Siuslaw National Forest and is accessible via the Restless Waters trail from the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area visitor's center or the U.S. Route 101 overlook. Access to the trail requires a United States Forest Service pass.
The inlet developed over many thousands of years as wave action carved into the basalt shoreline, first forming a deep sea cave whose roof eventually collapsed. As the tide comes in it can throw spray several hundred feet into the air when the waves reach the end of the churn. Visitors are urged to be cautious when visiting the churn as it can be dangerous."

The tide was out when we were there, so it's pretty exciting to see this!
Energy, texture, color. Nothing missing in fine capture.

Very nice capture. Well done.
Great catch... Nicely done!
I bet there are still people that do not heed the warnings. I wish I would have had more time to travel up the coast in oregon
