Located on Oregon's scenic central coast along the Coastal Highway, U.S. 101, this little park is a great place for bird watching, or just watching the roaring surf come crashing in on the rocks. At low tide, there is a small trail leading out onto the rocks where one can explore the teeming tide pools. If one is lucky one will also catch a glimpse of the the rusting boiler of a wrecked ship wedged between some rocks on the south end of the bay, where waterfalls slide over the cliffs.

Boiler Bay derives its name from the old boiler from the 1910 wreck of the 175-foot schooner, J. Marhoffer. The Oregon Coast Today page on shipwrecks has a good picture of this boiler which is still visible at extreme low tides only.
