Salal Hill is a short 250' climb with panoramic ocean and Yaquina Head Lighthouse views, sea stacks with bird nesting rocks, frequent seals and seasonal gray whales, plus tidal pools at low tide. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and long shadows; low tide reveals intertidal texture. Trail is family‑friendly but includes a hairpin with exposure—not wheelchair accessible. Parking at Yaquina Head area is limited and may have a small fee; check National Park Service hours and tide times
