Located on the north coast of Oregon, Cannon Beach is a magical place where you’ll find picturesque sea stacks, vast ocean views, a charming beach town, unforgettable hikes, and miles of pristine, sandy beaches. Cannon Beach was named one of the 21 Best Beaches In The World by National Geographic, and for good reason. Read on to find out more about this stunning Oregon gem:
Located in Clatsop County, Cannon Beach is an amazing place to visit on the Oregon Coast. This gorgeous stretch of coastline is one of the most beautiful, iconic landscapes in the state -- and perhaps even in the world.
Haystack Rock is particularly amazing. This iconic, 235-foot sea stack is said to be one of the tallest intertidal sea stacks in the world, and it's perfectly picturesque. When the tide is low, you can walk right up to the base of it, where you'll find amazing tide pools full of beautiful starfish, anemones, and more.
The area is full of lush green hills, stunning beaches, and unforgettable hiking trails. Here's a view from Ecola Point, looking down over Cannon Beach and the nearby Crescent Beach.
Throughout the year, there are numerous festivals that happen here, including a sandcastle building contest, the Stormy Weather Arts Festival, a Fourth of July parade, and more.
The town of Cannon Beach is wonderfully charming, and has a unique small-town feel. Wandering through the streets you'll find great restaurants and breweries, art galleries, lovely cottages, hotels, and more.
