Cape Lookout is one of the most beloved headlands on the Oregon Coast, boasting beautiful trails through Sitka Spruce forests and sheer cliffs that drop 400 feet down to the sea. What began as a volcanic lava flow has become valuable habitat alive with nesting bird colonies, fish, crabs, sea stars, and even migrating gray whales.
For over three years, Audubon Society of Lincoln City worked on a proposal to designate Cape Lookout as a Marine Conservation Area. In April of 2022, our proposal was unanimously approved by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. The new designation protects seabirds, intertidal life, and kelp forests while still allowing visitors to enjoy and appreciate the wonders of Cape Lookout.
