Description: "'The perfect beach' is a description used by many visitors to the northern Oregon coast, and the phrase applies to almost every beach along the state's 400 mile coastline. The beach shown here is several miles south of Cannon Beach. Several deep caves and a picturesque waterfall make this spot especially popular with visitors. Cars may be driven to this beach by way of a road carved around Hug Point, the second promontory. Seen in the background are Jockey's Cap and Haystack Rock, at Cannon Beach."

The cape, located just north of Pacific City, shelters an excellent boat launching site and a marine garden on its leeward side, and huge sand dunes stretch inland."
