The trail skirts along the entire campground facility through a beautiful thick canopy of Sitka spruce forest alongside Spencer Creek and out to the beach, where you can continue exploring the area.

Strolling the Beach to Devil’s Punchbowl/Yaquina Head

Beverly Beach is surrounded on both ends by two spectacular Oregon Coast highlights.

To the right lies Devil’s Punchbowl. A collapsed sea cave with thunderous waves slamming into its center. The ocean churns inside, creating a large punch bowl and one magnificent spectacle!

To the left, there’s Yaquina Head. A historic lighthouse sitting on a rugged basalt point jutting into the Pacific. There are tide pools, the lighthouse, and numerous other trails to enjoy around here.

While both places have their own parking, they are also within walking distance if you care for long walks on the beach and don’t care to sit in the car any longer.

Starting from Devil’s Punchbowl and walking to Beverly Beach, then Yaquina Head and back, it would be around 10 miles of beach walking!
