This is Devil's Churn in far-western Oregon. The site is usually incorrectly spelled "Devils Churn". The bedrock in the area is the Yachats Basalt, a Late Eocene unit consisting of basaltic lava flows and agglomerates, plus some andesite and trachyandesite. Igneous dikes are also present - most are basalt, plus minor andesite and rhyodacite. The basalt lava flows are often porphyritic, with labradorite plagioclase feldspar phenocrysts. Glomeroporphyritic varieties are present, with clusters of blade-shaped plagioclase phenocrysts.
The linear valley at Devil's Churn is a fault zone that has been erosively enlarged by wave action from the Pacific Ocean. Landward, the chasm ends at a sea cave, which suggests that the entire feature was formerly a sea cave, but most of the roof has collapsed.

From park signage:
The Power of Devils Churn
Pulverizing and pounding.
Crashing and smashing.
Endlessly, relentlessly, the Pacific Ocean careens into Devils Churn, until the crescendo of waves explodes in a riot of white froth . . . and then escapes back to the sea.
Showtime!
Devils Churn puts on its most dramatic shows during high tides and storms.
Devils Churn began as a small fracture - a weak area in the ancient volcanic rock.
Thunderous waves have gnawed at the rock for eons, eroding it away grain by grain, enlarging the crack into a chasm.
As you approach, you'll feel the power of the churn like thunder in your bones, and anticipate each collision of wave and rock like bursting fireworks!
The sea never finishes its work . . .
All along the coast, you'll see chasms-in-the-making. Some are only tiny fissures today - reminders of the Devils Churn's modest beginning.
If you venture closer, watch your footing on slippery rocks, and never turn your back on the ocean!

It's called the Devil Stool because it would do some evil to your back after sitting in it for 12 hours.

This year I was one of the Devils. The Devils are a staple of all the Halloween events. I've never worn these costumes before, they're even more fun than I expected.

Devils Tower (Lakota: Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge”) is a monolithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck located in the Black Hills near Sundance Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,112 feet above sea level. Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The Monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres.

A day use site located along the Alice Lake Loop, Devil's Bath is considered one of Canada's largest cenotes (flooded sinkhole) measuring 359m around and 44m deep. The cenote connects to the Benson River which is 200m to the northwest through a series of cave passages 80m below the water table.
This day use site has a viewing platform perched above the cenote which enables a great view into the dark waters below. Always use caution when traveling on industrial roads.

This was a SIM inspired by Blade Runner. It was called Devil's Moon.
The Water Reflection on this SIM was amazing!
In order for them to get the look of reflection in water, they had to build the ENTIRE SIM upside down and reverse, underneath the ground. Then make clear spots in the floor so it looked like water reflections. They were ahead of their time in inventiveness!
Devil's Moon was around for YEARS! But sadly it no longer exists.
