Devil's Punchbowl, Natural rock formation in Lincoln County, Oregon.
The rock formation creates a circular basin where ocean waves crash through openings, generating powerful water movements during high tides and storms.
The land became a state natural area through donations from F.W. and C.P. Leadbetter in 1929, followed by additional land acquisitions until 1971.
Native American tribes from the Pacific Northwest considered this geological structure a sacred place for ceremonial gatherings and spiritual connections.
The observation area provides designated parking spots and maintained pathways that lead visitors to multiple viewpoints of the natural rock formation.
During winter storms, water forces through the cave openings at speeds reaching 100 mph, creating an explosive display visible from observation points.
