The Columbia River bar is one of the most dangerous on the planet. At the mount, on the Washington side of the river, sits Cape Disappointment State Park. Home to some of the largest crashing waves on the west coast of the United States. Here, waves from a winter storm pound the rocks at Waikiki Beach in Washington State near the Columbia River Bar. Location: Cape Disappointment, Washington.
Island Universe
The Oregon Coast is full of beauty from California to Washington. But the best views can be found inside the Boardman Scenic Corridor between Brookings and Gold Beach. The corridor is littered with a high density of state parks including the viewpoint for Arch Rock. Arch Rock is on the north side of the view at Windy Point, but in the summer months, at night, the best view is looking south. Location: Arch Rock State Park, Oregon
