Jumpoff Joe, Sandstone sea stack at Nye Beach, Newport, Oregon, United States.
The formation rose 100 feet high from the beach, featuring concretionary sandstone from the middle Miocene Astoria Formation along the Oregon coast.
Between 1920 and 1970, natural erosion caused the sea stack to diminish, with its complete disappearance occurring by 1990.
The name originates from Joseph McLoughlin, who fell near the rock during a trapping expedition in the early settlement period.
The location currently presents geological study opportunities at coordinates 44°38′43″N 124°03′45″W in Lincoln County, Oregon.
The structure contained an arch formation that stood until 1916, when it collapsed due to natural weathering processes.
