Nine miles of wide, walk able beach invite visitors to
Cannon Beach. The scenic beauty of the sea stacks offshore and headlands onshore
make your stroll down the sand particularly memorable. Fly a kite, watch the sea
creatures in the tide pools, or take pictures of famous Haystack Rock. Relaxing
on the beach is part of the Cannon Beach experience.
The arts are emphasized in Cannon Beach, and some of
the best crafts, shopping and galleries on the coast are located here. The city
is planned for strolling, and many visitors take advantage of this to visit the
quaint bookstores, shops and bistros. Strict planning regulations have helped
Cannon Beach keep its earth toned, rustic look.
Cannon Beach was named for a cannon that was discovered
on the beach. In 1846, the U.S. Navy schooner Shark was wrecked while trying to
leave the Columbia River. A large piece of the schooner's deck with a cannon and
capstan attached washed up on the beach, and the town's name is based on this
event
Haystack Rock, at 235 feet high, is the third largest
coastal monolith in the world. It has been designated as a marine and bird
sanctuary, and is full of wonders. The tide pools around the rock have many
intertidal animals in them, including limpets, barnacles, starfish, crabs, sea
sculpins and anemones. Several bird species nest on the rock in the summer. The
most colorful of these is the Tufted Puffin. These squatty black birds have
white faces, an orange bill, and a tuft of feathers above the eyes. The sound of
the shorebirds at sunset is an experience you won't want to miss.
For hikers, there are many trails to the water through
the thick conifer forests of Ecola State Park. Ecola Point, near Ecola State
Park, has a viewpoint and picnic area, where you can see the whole panorama of
Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock and the Coast Range. This spectacular view is one of
the most photographed on the Oregon coast. A two mile trail connects Ecola point
to horseshoe shaped Indian Beach, and a six mile trail leads on to Tillamook
Head.
Relaxed simplicity and a magnificent natural setting
attract visitors all year to Cannon Beach. It's a delightful place for a day
trip, or to stay a while.
