Cape Sebastian

[AlanLichty]

The stretch of Oregon coast from south of Cape Blanco down to the California border has some of the more interesting rock formations of the NW coast. From a geological perspective this area is much older than the coastal landforms to the north and is considered to be part of the formations that include the Klamath mountains.

This is a view to the south from Cape Sebastian overlooking an area called Meyers Creek. On a clear day you can see as far as Crescent City. If you ever encounter one of these days take a picture for me since I have never witnessed this myself in spite of dozens of visits.

The view south from Cape Sebastian along the Oregon coast.

C&C always welcome.

Wow, that is a great section of sea stacks you got here. Why have I never seen this before? I guess I always turn around at Cape Blanco.

now that's a view!

Killer view! Wonderful atmo, too!

This is really nice Alan, I like that birds eye view of those sea stacks like that. It's fun at low tide like this to go down and wander among them.

Thanks for the comments.

You have been turning around before you get to the Good Stuff(TM). It gets even better heading south from here.

The stacks aren't all that photogenic when wandering around between them at low tide. Very few tide pools of note at all. I have seen some nice sunsets from along US101 down near them.

I know this area fairly well and I agree with you about the area south of here. Samuel Boardman State Park has some great stacks and arches. Nice image, Alan.
