This was an amazing experience. We chose to drive up to the viewpoint instead of hiking it because the weather was raining on and off. You take the turnoff for Cape Perpetua campground, but stay on…Full review by Julie C

Amazing views from the lookout on the whispering spruce trail. You walk right along the cliff edge almost the whole trail. On a clear day you could see a long way. Didn't see any whales unfortunately.Full review by acshelco1

I could stay here forever. This is such a beautiful place. I just can’t even begin to describe how much I loved it here. Pictures do no justice.Full review by Sara S

No big hikes are necessary. You can easily get to the site from the road or parking area. You may have to walk a bit down a path or to the lookout. I think the parking fee was $5 where we stopped at which was an honor system self pay envelope thing. You write your car license plate and date. So make sure you have a pen and some cash in small bills.

Q:
Can anyone tell me if travelling from Seattle to LA in a motorhome is a good idea in late August/early Sept. How easy is it to just stop at a site without booking.

Sharon, you should read the recent reviews of the place! There’s a lot of information in those, including fees. I’m not sure how people got away with no fees (unless they were just driving by), but as others have said, it’s a $5 per car fee for the day. We were just there last week. This fee helps the state maintain the parks for us to continue enjoying in the future, and this place is worth it.

Q:
About how far off The Captain Cook Trail is Spouting Horn and Thor's Well? My husband and I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and a 1 year old. (Our 1 year old will be riding in a hiking backpack.) Are these sites suitable for little children to hike?

Thanks everyone. My family traveled down the Oregon Coast back in October and had a great time. We decided against checking this area out.

If you have any challenges, there are lots you can park in and walk along the beach. That is magnificent in itself, as this has the feel of a virgin Pacific coast section. Starfish, blow holes, surf crashing on rocks, but a broad beach to see it from. From the higher lot you can walk to an overlook in a short walk. Very nice. From the top you can walk down as far as you would like, and then return to the lot. Many options.
