The best part about Cape Kiwanda? The mountains and craggy sand dunes and cliffs that line the beach, which you can climb and explore. You can even sand-surf down the big dunes. But take note: some of the cliffs are fenced off, because they can crumble without warning.
Cape Kiwanda is part of the Three Capes Scenic Route, a 40-mile drive that stretches the Oregon coast. It’s easy to hit all of them during your day on the Oregon coast.
