The Devil's Churn is about 2-3 miles south of Yachats, on the Central Oregon Coast. This narrow fissure into the flank of Cape Perpetua compresses the energies of the incoming tide and causes the sea foam to create intricate and amazing patterns, almost like churned butter.

In another Version of the Legend the devil made a deal with the builder that no windows were to be built in the church. But the devil was tricked by the clever builder who had set the columns so that you couldn't see a single window from a certain spot in the entrance hall where the devil stood. When the devil found out he was tricked the church was already consecrated so he couldn't enter but left a footprint at the entrance where he madly stomped his foot.
The Devil's Punch Bowl is a large natural amphitheatre and beauty spot near Hindhead, Surrey, in England, and is the source of many stories about the area. The London to Portsmouth road (the A3) skirted the centre of the site before the long Hindhead Tunnel was built in 2011.
The land is now owned and maintained by the National Trust as part of the "Hindhead Commons and the Devil's Punch Bowl" property. Hindhead Youth Hostel is located inside the bowl. The highest point is Gibbet Hill at 282m AOD.
This little devil was pretty pooped by the end of the night. No wonder, an hour and half of trekking back and forth.
