  • čas přidán 25. 02. 2021
  • Devils Punchbowl is a wave carved coastal cave on the Central Oregon Coast. This sandstone cave eroded so much that the ceiling collapsed forming a big skylight. Similar to Thor's Well but much larger due to the softness of the rock. This is a nice viewpoint destination from above or accessible from Otter Crest Beach.

    This has been my favorite place in the world since I was a kid. Once I sat down on the rocks to be alone and think, and the tide came in so I had to swim out. I love and respect the ocean so much. Great video, you gave me a little trip home 💜

      I know where cave blow occurs within the rear lawn
      of a residence off East Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, CA.
      A hole I've seen chest deep at low tide at cave rear.
      Which could have been utilized for compressed sea
      air to cool a home in an age of rising heat prospects.
      The city has repeatedly failed to block wave entry
      using rip-rap obstruction as the ocean is relentless
      when it comes to coastal erosion.

  • @conniewojahn6445

    Being inside the cave when tide is coming in would be very scary. Not only water inside the cave, but water coming up shore outside of the south entrance would make exiting difficult even before water fills in the cave. So, watch for your way out, too. This is a great place to visit, but be safe.

  • @FlyingSquirrelOutdoors

    From above, it didn't look nearly as big as it really is - when you went in from the beach I was shocked at how wide open that is. Can't imagine that whole ceiling coming down -- I wonder if it collapsed all at once.

    • @MattCookOregon
      @MattCookOregon  Před 3 lety

      Not sure. I would guess a bit of both. It continues to collapse as the lower cave walls keep eroding.

    • @jcee2259
      @jcee2259 Před rokem +1

      I had a wide sea cave entry collapse the front the of length.
      To which a city added additional rock to deter waves. That
      post-earthquake response was overcome by tidal erosion.
      Half of West Cliff Drive dropped into the dark wet depths
      decades after the 'quake, So, a central length of a prior
      sealed blowhole sea cave was again blocked by city crews.
      That remaining third waits for renewed tidal forces to again
      channel ocean waves under the city. A relentless process.
      I enjoy the recreation aspects of drama and suspense in
      Santa Cruz, California.

      Know a kayak owner out of California who paddled
      a home-made hull of wood framing and 'glassed
      fabric hull north up near the Alaska Dixon Passage.
      And paddled south again. Passing my reader twice
      (which was a clue for your present mystery). That
      ride became a sailing tri-hull and is now anchored
      off Southern California inside an island harbor.
