It’s also one of the best places to view the Oregon Islands Wildlife Refuge, which is a wildlife sanctuary comprised of more than 1,000 small islands off the coast of Oregon. Puffins, sea lions, seals, and other animals make up the populations of these lovely islands, which can be viewed from many spots on Coquille Point.
