Newport, Ore. -- The Bureau of Land Management connects youth to America’s natural and cultural heritage. Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area invites you to explore the tidepools at Cobble Beach. Use this calendar to find the best times for visiting and learning about the intertidal plants and animals that call Yaquina Head their home. Park rangers will be roving Cobble Beach to provide orientation, answer questions and help you safely explore the tidepools. Keep in mind exposure times are dependent on surf swells. If the surf is high there may be no exposure, even at low tide.
