What to expect on Devils Punch Bowl – Otter Rock Marine Reserve loop from Beverly Beach State Park

Expect a journey that shifts from the soft sands of Beverly Beach State Park to forest-sheltered paths, then to the dramatic, rocky coastline around the Devil's Punchbowl. This unique geological wonder, a collapsed sea cave, is where waves churn and foam, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Further along, the Otter Rock Marine Reserve reveals teeming tide pools at low tide, with sea stars and anemones, and offshore you'll spot Gull Rock. While the overall route is easy, navigating the often slippery rocks inside the Devil's Punchbowl requires sturdy shoes and is best done at low tide, making it a moderate section within an otherwise accessible hike.

Planning your visit

The trailhead is conveniently located at Beverly Beach State Park, offering easy access. To fully experience the marine life in the tide pools and safely explore inside the Devil's Punchbowl, plan your hike for low tide. This area is also a fantastic spot for whale watching during migration seasons and birdwatching year-round, so bring binoculars if you're keen on wildlife spotting.
