Face Rock Viewpoint

Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint is a coastal park located on the Pacific shoreline that features sandy beaches, towering rock formations, and multiple walking paths. The area includes observation areas positioned to showcase the different geological features and ocean views from various angles.

The site started as a land donation in 1934 and was expanded through additional purchases in 1961. These additions shaped it into the recreational space visitors can explore today.

The name comes from a Native American legend about a young woman whose face can be seen in the rock formation rising from the ocean. This story shapes how people experience and talk about this place today.

Access to the beaches and viewpoints is made easy through maintained staircases and walking trails throughout the grounds. The site provides amenities such as restrooms, picnic areas, and clearly marked spots for viewing.

The rocks and tidal flats here are part of a wildlife refuge that protects hundreds of bird species in their natural habitat. This makes the shoreline an important breeding and resting ground for seabirds.
