Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint, Part II

Legend has it that you can hear a woman’s voice in the wind and see her face in the rock. The park was formerly known as Bandon Ocean Wayside. The rocks and tidal flats at Face Rock are protected as part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge because they provide important nesting habitat for birds.
