About this map

Cape Arago defines this portion of the Coos County shoreline, where the land meets the Pacific Ocean in a series of sharp headlands and sheltered coves. The landscape is dominated by the protective boundaries of Cape Arago State Park, which preserves a rugged coastline featuring North Cove, Middle Cove, and South Cove. Offshore, navigation hazards and landmarks like Baltimore Rock, Simpson Reef, and Shell Island mark the transition to deep water.

South of the cape, the terrain rises into the Seven Devils area, a name reflected in the local topography of Big Devil Gulch. This coastal stretch is characterized by its drainage network, with Mussel Cr, Fivemile Cr, and Threemile Cr cutting through the bluffs to reach the sea. Access to this reach of the Oregon coast is primarily facilitated by Seven Devils Rd, which runs parallel to the beach-lined shore near Sacchi Beach and Agate Beach.
