Located just below the iconic Yaquina Head, lies the amazing Cobble Beach. Like it's name suggests, this picturesque cove is made up thousands of smooth, round cobblestones.
Cobble Beach is a noisy beach with black polished stones is accessed via a long staircase. This one's a bear coming back up, but it's worth it. The large cobblestones make quite a rattling noise when attacked by the tide - which tends to hit here with sizable force because the tide line is at a fairly steep incline.
A stairway from the beach head leads down to the pebble beach filled with round black basalt stones.
The basalt cobblestones are said to be the result of a lava flow dating back roughly 14 million years. The smooth black stones cover the beach, glittering in the rising and falling tide.
