Yachats is a small coastal city in Lincoln County, Oregon. Just outside Yachat is Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, a 2,700-acre forested headland on the Oregon Coast. The area has spectacular views and the visitor center hosts Whale Watching Weeks in winter and in spring. Near Cape Perpetua is Thor’s Well, a gaping, bottomless sinkhole on the edge of the Oregon coast that looks like it is swallowing all seawater. The North Fork of the Yachats Bridge is a 42-foot long covered bridge that carries North Fork Yachats River Road over the Yachats River. Yachats is a popular tourist destination and there is something going on year around, from The Yachats la de da Parade is held each July 4, the Yachats Village Mushroom Festival in October and the The Yachats Celtic Music Festival in November.
