Oregon's King Tides

Each winter, the Oregon Coast comes alive with the breathtaking force of King Tides: exceptionally high tides that occur when the Earth, moon and sun align at their closest points, creating powerful gravitational pulls that elevate water levels. See the majesty and strength of the Pacific Ocean from atop the Cape Kiwanda Dune or the safety of the Cape Kiwanda parking lot benches.
