The Jumbo Rocks area of Joshua Tree seen from a distance. In this view a couple of 'peaks' made up of of large, fragmented boulders may be seen rising behind a small field of various desert plantlife.

A view of Face Rock in profile. Out of all of the face and man-named geologic features I've seen, this is the most clearly defined one.

Skull Rock, with a couple of green bushes nearby. This area is heavily visited and you will often see people climbing all over the structures.

A large field/mound of boulders and fragmented rocks sits under a blue sky. This view is a classic example of how the cracks in these structures lead to erosion and fragmentation.

The sky just after the sun has set with an orange glow that fades to creamy yellow and then blue, behind the beach with tall silhouetted rocks and sand and gentle surf.

Last sunset for this trip. What a beautiful way to wrap up the week. #sunset #BandonBeach #FaceRock

The setting sun and a bubbly ocean wave softly caress a clear glass sphere that sits on the shore, reflecting a setting sun and sea stacks in the distance

A brilliant orange setting sun and sea-stacks in the distance, and a clear glass sphere that sits on dark rock in the foreground, reflecting the scene in the distance

Having fun while waiting for the sunset in #Bandon at #FaceRock 😁 #southernoregoncoast #PNW #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Beach scene with a flock of birds in the surf, and large sea stacks in the background shrouded in light misty fog under bright blue skies.

It was a warm 74 in Coos Bay but a cool 58 in #Bandon & lots of fog but still a very lovely day for a lil stroll with the birdies at one of my favorite places - #FaceRock. This time I walked down the beach then back to the lot through the neighborhood😊 #photography #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Wide angle shot with purple starfish in the foreground on the beach and surf and rocks in the background under a bright blue sky

This isn’t something I’ve seen before! I usually see these guys hugged up on rocks with their anemone friends, but today they were sunning themselves on the beach, so we chatted & took selfies before I moved on ☺️❤️#photography #beachscape #PNW #bandon #facerock #eastcoastkin #westcoastkin

Large triangular shaped rock jutting out of the surf with low fog in the background, blue skies above, and disjointed reflections of the rock appearing in the sand in the foreground.

After a week with a really bad cold (thank you fellow airline passenger 😡), I finally got to get out today and enjoy some nice weather in #Bandon at #facerock for a nice long stroll at low tide.

Bright orange starfish sunning on a rock amid swirling ocean water in the foreground with large rocks jutting out in the background under a bright blue cloudless sky in Bandon, Oregon.

Hark now, hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic…

#FaceRock

Face Rock presents a striking image among the rocky beach and incoming waves, with blue sky above. The rock looks like a face looking to up to the sky. A legend from the Coquille Indian Tribe names the face in the rock, which forever gazes at the sky, as that of Ewauna, Princess of the Nah-So-Mah tribe and daughter of Chief Siskiyou. The legend recounts that Ewauna traveled with her father from the mountains to a great potlatch gathering of local tribes set at the coast. She brought along her dog Komax and a basket holding her cat and kittens. Ewauna was an adventurous child of the mountains, and was eager to explore the ocean she had never seen, but she was held back and warned that evil spirit Seatka, who lived in the ocean, could cause her harm if he had the chance. During the excitement of the potlatch celebration, Ewauna waved off the warning and ran down to the ocean for a moon light swim, bringing her dog and cats along. As Ewauna swam, Seatka seized the moment and grabbed the young woman in the water, trying to force her to look at him so he could ensnare her in his power. During the struggle, brave Komax swam out to her with the basket of cats in his mouth. Komax managed to get a bite into Seatka, but this just enraged the monster and he struck at the dog, throwing the basket with the cat and kittens into the sea. Ewauna continued her refusal to look at Seatka, keeping her eyes on the moon and telling him she would never look at him. And so today, she remains defiantly looking at the sky, with Komax, her cat and kittens forever nearby.

Face Rock in Bandon. The Face in the Rock is Ewauna, Princess of the Nah-So-Mah tribe. Can you see her head is leaning back and her face is looking up at the sky? Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. (read more in ALT text)
