How to get there

This image was taken above, looking northeast onto the cliffs at Cape Kiwanda, with a view of the Pacific Ocean. To get here, drive to Pacific City Beach and park in the Pelican Brewery parking lot (45.215459, -123.970793). From there, walk up the sandhill and then take the path to the left. Wear good shoes as this trail is steep with soft ground. You can reference the GPS coordinates to find the exact spot where I stood to get this perspective. You can also search for "Cape Kiwanda Marine Garden."
