One of those natural wonders is the mysterious and legendary Thor's Well.

This unique geological feature is a deep well that was naturally formed in the rocky shoreline. The tide streams into the hole, as though the entire ocean was slowly draining into it. Every now and then, the sea water spits back out dramatically, spraying high into the air.

If you choose to visit, be very careful and make sure to stay a safe distance away, as the area can be very dangerous.

There are multiple stunning viewpoints throughout the area as well, including the historic Cape Perpetua Stone Shelter (pictured below).

Another stunning spot to check out is the epic Devil's Churn. This long, thin crack in the coastline funnels in the incoming tide and sends it swirling majestically down the narrow chute.
