Cape Perpetua Visitor Center - Siuslaw National Forest

We ducked into the visitor center kind of drenched from walking around the area on a rainy, blustery day. The volunteers here were very helpful. They happily helped us identify plants we had photographed on our walk. They sold us a $10 five day parking pass good for state and national sites along the coast. Best $10 we spent on this trip. There are some very cool exhibits explaining the local flora and fauna inside. It looks like the view from there is incredible on clear days. This was not one of those days.

A very nice visitor center with a great staff. Tells the story of how the sea and forest meet in this special place. Great views from the windows and deck.

We always enjoy coming here. The views are great, and the guides are helpful. You might even spot a gray whale. We also use it to go hiking along one of the coastal Trails down to the beach. There are a lot of places that one can go starting off at this point. But the parking is expensive unless you have a pass, and sometimes the lots can be full, not a ton of parking. We also really enjoy learning about whales there, and some of the whale artifacts that are there are really neat.
