The cove here, just below the HECETA HEAD LIGHTHOUSE and just north of the crook of headland named Devils Elbow, offers shelter for swimmers and great waves on most days for those who want to venture out a little farther. Microsoft's Live Search maps provide a better aerial view of the area than that available in the Google or Yahoo maps.

The map shows the layout of the headlands and the formations that the waves at this location take.

Parking is available at the site.

Heceta Head State Park is open to picnicking, surfing, hiking, fishing, and lighthouse tours. The lighthouse keepers house is now a bed and breakfast and is available for overnight stays.

Don Bain's Virtual Guidebook to the Oregon Coast shows a 360 degree panorama view of this location from the center of the Cape Creek Bridge.
