Otter Point

This little secret is a must see for those who travel along the Oregon Coast. Park your car and take a short walk out to the point and gaze at the waves crashing below, the surf at the cove to the north, or the broad long Bailey Beach to the south. If you have time, there is a 10-minute hike to the south. For the adventurous, there is a short but challenging trail on the north off the parking lot down to the cove. On a clear day, it is possible to see the light from the Cape Blanco Lighthouse to the north.

Access is easy from short drive off of Route 101 along the Old Coast Road, to a gravel parking lot.
While the north trail is more of a challenge, it leads to an excellent area to go tidepooling at low tide. If you decide to hike beyond the next point at low tide, be careful to return before the tide comes in.
