The Hug Point name comes the history of the coastal roadway. Before Oregon Coast Highway 101 was built in the 1920s, the beach was used as a coastal road for both car and coach traffic. In order to get around Hug Point, traffic had to move at the low tide along the rocky headland close to it - literally "hugging" the rocks. Hug Point is popular for its colorful landscape, a beautiful stretch of sand, basalt and sandstone cliffs, marine life in the tide pools, caves, and a seasonal waterfall.
