A viewpoint at the top of the cliffs can be reached from the nearby Elk Meadow Trail/Oregon Coast Trail.
On topo maps, this frothing gully is labeled "Treasure Cove," while the inlet to the north, between it and Smugglers Cove, is the real Devils Cauldron. Others think the names should be reversed.
