Whales Head Rock

Whales Head Rock 

Less than a mile north of House Rock on 101 you will find the Whales Head Rock Resort.  You can see the Whales Head Rock from 101.  Right across the road from the resort is the drive down to the Whales Head Rock Beach parking area.  This road is very rough & not recommended for RVs & timid drivers.  This is another lovely, long, wide beach that gets lots of visitors during the summer.  A small cave & waterfall are hidden along this beach.

There is also a small undeveloped parking area at the top of the Whales Head Rock drive.  You can access the Oregon Coast Trail here & do an approx. 1 mile hike that loops back to to 101, then walk back to your car on 101 (traffic not fun, but easy).  An easy scramble trail off this trail takes you out to one of my favorite overlooks.  Great views north & south.  Other than the first several sets of up hill switchbacks this is a pretty easy trail.
