Otter Rock - Devils Punch Bowl State Natural Area
South of Cape Foulweather, the bluffs found within the Otter Crest Area straddle the ocean shoreline and connect with rock formations at a point near the Town of Otter Rock. The cliffs surrounding the Otter Rock Area provide the coastline transition from the rocky shorelines of Depoe Bay and Otter Crest to the sandy beach strands of Newport and South Beach. This transition occurs at the western edge of the Otter Rock Area at the Oregon State Park known as the Devils Punch Bowl State Natural Area. The name of the park comes from a hollow bowl formation found in the rocks along the bluff, the remnants of a collapsed sea cave. The wave action around the rocks provides a swirling of the waters within the punch bowl, a wonderful spectacle for onlookers visiting the area. The main hub of activity within Otter Rock is located on the western end of the community. This section contains the facilities of the Devils Punch Bowl State Natural Area, a small commercial section of retail shops and curbside parking spaces. The Town of Otter Rock is compromised of mainly residential neighborhoods situated in an area between the Otter Crest Loop Road on the east side and the cliffs overlooking the ocean. A variety of housing options are available featuring oceanfront and ocean view home sites plus interior treed lot locations. The Town of Otter Rock is the northern neighbor to the Newport Area plus is a popular neighborhood option due to its proximity to the Newport Area via Highway 101.
