Sandy beach. Beachside campground. Scenic trails. Whale watching.
Cape Lookout is a two-mile long peninsula that juts into the Pacific Ocean from Oregon's rugged coastline.
The park features more than 170 campsites, yurts, rustic cabins, and a day-use area, all located a short walk from the beach.
There are roughly 10 miles of trails ranging from easy to moderate. The 2.6 mile trail to the tip of the Cape is the most scenic and offers views of migrating whales in spring and fall.

Cape Lookout Reviews
My husband and I did the hike out to the point and it was a beautiful trail, overlooking the bay beside the peninsula. However, you need to know that the trails all have muddy sections and sometimes the boggy areas have big roots throughout them. It can be slippery. We saw people with little fluffy dogs in tow turning around quickly and girls in dresses making all the way to the point! I guess it depends on what you want! I recommend bringing water and snacks. There is a good chance that you may need a raincoat. If you have walking sticks I’d bring them!

This whole hike has amazing scenery! You can see awesome views of the ocean to one side and lush forest to the other. If you are a photographer, there are a couple of great views of the ocean worth snapping. We went in late march, and would definitely suggest bringing your boots as it can be quite muddy.
