Natural Bridges Cove, Natural viewpoint and rock arch in Curry County, Oregon, United States.
Natural Bridges Cove is a viewpoint featuring multiple stone arches that rise from the Pacific Ocean, shaped by erosion from waves and wind over time. The rock formations continue to change as natural forces shape the coastline.
The site became part of the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor through acquisitions between 1949 and 1957, preserving it for public access. Its designation as a protected area marked an important moment for coastal conservation.
Photographers and nature observers gather at this location throughout the year to document the geological formations and marine wildlife in their natural habitat.
A short trail of about half a mile connects the Highway 101 parking area to the viewpoint with minimal elevation gain, making access easy for most visitors. The path is straightforward and suitable for casual walking.
Two stone arches stand parallel to each other, creating an uncommon geological arrangement where waves flow through both openings at different patterns. This dual formation offers an unusual perspective on the ocean's power.
