Devil’s Punchbowl State Park

Devil’s Punchbowl State Park is in between Newport, OR and Lincoln City. There is no admission to get into the park.

There’s an easy path along the cliff with breathtaking views. We were told this is a great place to spot whales, but we never saw one. There’s also picnic tables in the park and a small winery, The Flying Dutchman Winery.
