Otter Crest Loop，是條遊客十分推薦觀賞海景的道路。由於距離當時已經快二年半了，以我五十歲的記憶，實在想不起來我們這段路是否是走這條路（代替了101）。
但看看之前照的相片，發覺我們應該是選擇走這條臨海的道路，才能照到一些在Google照片中（Otter Crest Loop）也有的相片。
At Otter Rock, a unique natural rock formation makes for great wild wave watching suited to its name: Devil's Punchbowl.
看情形此時是退潮，沒能親眼目睹漲潮時海水湧入的景致，有點可惜！
這附近當然就是Devil's Punchbowl State Park，有一些步道的規劃，但我們的時間有限只能用看的。
讀者們如果有機會也喜歡海邊景致的話，真的可一多安排幾天在同一個定點好好玩玩。
我們家或許不會再次造訪這裡了，經過兩次的海岸旅遊安排，發覺我們喜歡山多過海。雖然海邊也有一些奇岩怪石，但是即使再怎麼美的大海，看到最後也覺得實在太相似了。山就有很大的不同，而且山中的湖泊瀑布更是一大加分。
奧勒岡的海岸很美，但大部分的時間籠罩在濃霧中，這真的讓人難以親近！
Otter Rock is a small community approximately seven miles north of Newport Oregon Coast . Nestled next to Depoe Bay, its semi-sheltered beaches are known for their idyllic summer conditions and dramatic winter storms.
The community derives its name from a rock off its coastline that was once a haven for otters. Today, the offshore rocks are part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and serve as a home for a variety of marine birds, including the endangered brown pelican, seagulls, cormorants and common murres.
遠望這片看似平坦寬闊的海灘，發覺不少人在水裡玩！
這片海灘應該稱為Beverly Beach 。
嘿嘿，原來是玩衝浪！
這裡是Beverly Beach的邊緣，人比較少。
在更遠處有個Beverly Beach State Park。
海面上好多在玩衝浪。
Although the rocks are off limits to humans, the waters around the rocks are a favorite location for whitewater kayakers. Kayakers should keep in mind however, that the surf can be rough and unpredictable in this area, especially during storm action.
Known by some as the "Waikiki of Oregon," Otter Rock's history as a surfing destination is legendary. It is considered a favorite place for surfers of all levels, and has several surf shops to prove it. It is known for its long boarding competitions and attracts surfers from around the world.
這片陽光和沙灘的確很有夏威夷海灘Fu，
可惜雲霧馬上又要進來了！
從另一個角度看Beverly Beach（剛才是在最左端的Devil's Punchbowl State Park照的），從這裡看人潮比較多，但霧已經接觸到陸地了！
這種翻臉像翻書的天氣，實在是讓我們開了眼界了。
開過了Newport，我們專程來看Yaquina Bay Lighthouse，可惜已經下班休息了，只好在外面照張相留紀念。
就在附近走走，看到了這座美麗的大橋Yaquina Bay Bridge！
照張相留個紀念吧，雖然又起風了。
橋底下是什麼呀？
橋兩旁的造型蠻特殊的。
