Devils Punch Bowl State Natural Area, State natural area in Lincoln County, Oregon.
This rock formation features a large bowl carved into a headland, where Pacific Ocean waves enter and create powerful water movements.
The park land acquisition started in 1929 through donations from F.W. and C.P. Leadbetter, followed by additional purchases from private owners until 1971.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed essential facilities in the 1930s, including picnic tables, restrooms, water systems, and beach access trails.
The natural area provides designated parking spots, beach access paths, and opportunities for tide pool exploration on the north side of the formation.
Two collapsed sea caves merged to form this geological structure, which now channels ocean water into a natural stone bowl formation.
