6. Thor’s Well, Oregon
Thor’s Well is one of the most famous places along any Oregon Coast road adventure. It’s the true definition of a natural wonder and a splendid stop during a west coast road trip because of the unique water feature that seems to be an endless sinkhole.
The theory is that the well was initially a cave that had its roof fall down due to water erosion. Basically, this collapse left a circular hole both at the top and bottom of the cave. This resulted in a large, bottomless sinkhole in the rock bed, with ocean waves traveling up and coming to the surface.
It’s definitely a famous place that leaves you jaw-dropped. The best time to see Thor’s Well in action is an hour before high tide and an hour after high tide.
