A view of Castle Rock from the east

Castle Rock is a large monolith right off the coast of Arch Cape, Oregon. It is named Castle Rock because it resembles a castle turret. The rock is Basalt, formed millions of years ago from lava flows.[1]

It is sometimes called Queen Vic rock by locals, (referring to Queen Victoria) because on the west side, there is a rock pattern that loosely resembles the face of Queen Victoria.[2]
