Devils Punchbowl: The Wave Carved Coastal Cave, Oregon

Devils Punchbowl is a wave carved coastal cave on the Central Oregon Coast. This sandstone cave eroded so much that the ceiling collapsed forming a big skylight. Similar to Thor's Well but much larger due to the softness of the rock. This is a nice viewpoint destination from above or accessible from Otter Crest Beach.

I used to cruise up to the Punchbowl from Newport for lunch at Mo's, back in the early 70's. Looks about the same, but I don't!

I'm visiting tomorrow morning at 8:30 am sharp. Thanks for the great presentation.

This has been my favorite place in the world since I was a kid. Once I sat down on the rocks to be alone and think, and the tide came in so I had to swim out. I love and respect the ocean so much. Great video, you gave me a little trip home 💜

Nice work Matt. I haven't been here since I was a kid. I probably should revisit some of these sites with my own kids.

I had the back door open listening to the roar of the pacific & flooding the house with the smell of the ocean just before watching this tonight. A really nice presentation Matt. The colors were fantastic as was every aspect of your filming. Thanks for taking me back, ... Grand Job Buddy!

Great video. We've stayed in the Depoe Bay Area a couple of times but never visited the Punchbowl. Now this and Thor's Well are definitely on our list. Will watch the tides!

Love this place. One of my favorite places on the Oregon coast! The shots down on the beach were awesome!

[VegaVenturing]

Awesome. I definitely need to get there sometime this year and explore the cave at low tide. Will probably make a video on it. Thanks for posting and all the great info!

[RussellVineyard]

I have been to this site so many times. Yet I didn't know there was beach access to get into the cave. Pretty awesome. If I ever get a chance, I'm heading in.

Where I learned to surf growing up! My Dad has a house at Otter Rock.

Great video Matt it is definitely a surfer hang out last summer the entire area was swamped with them i think there must have been at least 60 or 70 out trying to find a nice swell.

Good one! Been here often ... we have a house on the coast ... so lots of traveling along the coast. Waiting for better weather and hoping for some sort of post-pandemic ease of travel. Be well.

Being inside the cave when tide is coming in would be very scary. Not only water inside the cave, but water coming up shore outside of the south entrance would make exiting difficult even before water fills in the cave. So, watch for your way out, too. This is a great place to visit, but be safe.

Nice video and footage! One of my favorite spots on the Oregon coast but have never been on the beach below!

I am glad you stress the importance of safety and common sense
