About Cape Sebastian State Scenic Corridor

This Oregon state park sits on a headland between Pistol River and Gold Beach along the Pacific coast. Its two parking areas stand high above the ocean, and the southern vista reaches far up and down the shoreline, with Humbug Mountain and Point St. George Lighthouse visible from there. Most of the land is covered by dense Sitka spruce forest. A walking trail leads down toward the lower parts of the cape, and visitors sometimes spot gray whales during their migrations. The park was assembled through purchases over several decades, and Civilian Conservation Corps crews improved its trails and roads in the 1930s. The site is also linked to a wartime story from about 1942 involving a submarine seen near the cape.
