Cannon Beach, Oregon
DescriptionThe beautiful, rugged Cannon Beach is over 9 miles long - the hardy can walk the whole distance. The most popular section is around the giant Haystack rock, which towers over the sands with a height of 235ft.
Haystack can be reached at low tide. The rockpools around the rock are teaming with life - tread carefully, and don't net or collect anything, as the area forms part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Cannon Beach the town is well worth a visit - it's become a small magnet for artistic and creative types, and there are several interesting galleries. Make sure you visit the nearby Ecola State park, and take the trail to the headland. There are great views back along the beach. Also, in winter, keep an eye out for whales as they migrate along the coast.
