Cape Foulweather


Cape Foulweather is a basalt outcropping above the Pacific Ocean on the central coastline of the U.S. state of Oregon - in Lincoln County, south of Depoe Bay. The cape is notable as the first promontory on the northwest coast of New Albion to be sighted and named by Captain James Cook, while on his third voyage around the world. His March 7, 1778 journal entry reads:
The cape can be viewed from Otter Crest State Scenic Viewpoint.
