Special permit are required to hike to The Wave (just ten are issued for each day). Permits ($5 per person) can be obtained in advance (http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/arolrsmain/paria/coyote_buttes/permits.html)
Cape Perpetua Scenic Area includes everything from tide pools at the edge of the ocean to a dramatic cleft in the rocks where the waves come crashing in. There are over 20 miles of hiking trails here. But you don't have to be a hiker to enjoy this place - much of it can be seen with short easy walks on level paved surfaces.
