Roads End, Wizard Rock
Lincoln City, Oregon Coast Virtual Tour, Inland 101, Neskowin, Corridor of Mystery

At the very northern end of Lincoln City, up against a bluff that neighbors Cascade Head, there's a stretch of beach beneath a bundle of lovely homes - often vacation rentals which look over the strand. The northernmost access lies up the street. This spot allows for perhaps two cars to park there and is approximately half a mile from the looming cliff.

The cliff, across the Salmon River from Cascade Head, possesses the rock structure known as Wizard Rock. At anything but a high tide, this moody, slightly spooky, pointed rock can be seen. But at a low tide, you can go around Wizard Rock and find a rarely touched section of beach, filled with small caves, pristine, glistening sand and inviting, angular rock forms and haystacks to climb and carouse on (pictured here).

Wizard Rock in the Roads End area of Lincoln City should not be confused with Wizards Hat Rock on the south coast. See Bandon's Wizards Hat Rock, Komax or Howling Dog? Oregon Coast Landmark Puzzle Surprise, Bandon's Wizards Hat Rock is not the same as Howling Dog Rock
