Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area is a state park in Pacific City, Oregon, United States . Cape Kiwanda is on the Three Capes Scenic Route, which includes Cape Meares and Cape Lookout. Hiking to the top of Cape Kiwanda allows views of Nestucca Bay to the south and Cape Lookout to the north.
A sea stack, named Haystack Rock, is located 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) southwest of the cape. It is one of three features along the Oregon Coast that are called "Haystack Rock,"[2] though the one in Cannon Beach is more widely known.
One of the attractions, called the Duckbill, in the park was destroyed by vandals in August 2016.
