Hemlock Cannon Beach CBPG16.indd 4 3/1/16 12:24 PM Haystack Rock TOP ATTRACTIONS The Beach & Haystack Rock Nearly four miles of sandy beach stretch out north and south of downtown Cannon Beach with Oregon’s iconic Haystack Rock sitting approximately midway on this scenic paradise. Rising 235 feet from the edge of the shore, this monolith is one of Oregon’s most photographed and recognizable landmarks. A protected marine and wildlife environment, it is both a home and hub for a host of natural wonders, including seasonal visits from Tufted Puffins and year-round tidepool life CBPG16.indd 5 3/1/16 12:24 PM Downtown Cannon Beach waiting to be discovered. Low tide is the perfect time to explore, when you can walk up to it and find colorful sea stars, anemones that open like flowers and other fascinating tidepool creatures in this intertidal area. Bring your binoculars to watch nesting seabirds in early spring and summer, including the Northwest’s most accessible colony of Tufted Puffins. For those wanting to learn more about the intertidal wonder at Cannon Beach, the Haystack Rock Awareness Program provides a beach program at the rock with trained rocky shore interpreters. Venture further and you’ll find more beaches and dramatic rock formations that have made the Oregon Coast famous for its dramatic landscapes. Small Beach Town Charm While the scenic surroundings are the number one attraction, visitors will also discover art and culture in this picture-perfect village by the sea. Named one of America’s CBPG16.indd 6 3/1/16 10:53 AM Tufted Puffins Ecola State Park 100 Best Art Towns, Cannon Beach is a delight to explore. Wander along the sidewalks and tucked away courtyards where you will discover sensational shopping, art galleries and fine dining. Watch live glassblowing, attend a live theater performance or browse the galleries. You can also rub elbows with history and take in the views enjoyed by Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery 200 years ago, when Captain William Clark wrote about the inspiring beauty of the coastline on the explorers’ historic voyage. Ecola State Park Perched dramatically on the edge of Tillamook Head, Ecola State Park offers one of the Oregon Coast’s most famous views, a panorama including Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock and the capes and headlands miles to the south. Paved walking trails provide multiple vantage points including views of the historic Tillamook Rock Lighthouse lying just offshore. Ecola State Park offers several miles of hiking trails, picnic CBPG16.indd 7 3/1/16 10:53 AM Tillamook Rock Lighthouse Hug Point Oswald West State Park CBPG16.indd 8 3/1/16 10:53 AM areas and great vantage points for bird and whale watchers. Look for herds of Roosevelt Elk grazing in meadows and Bald Eagles flying overhead. A short drive to the other side of the park leads to picturesque Indian Beach. A $5 State Parks day-use fee is required for parking. Tillamook Rock Lighthouse The Oregon Coast’s most isolated lighthouse sits on a lone rock offshore from Cannon Beach. The Tillamook Rock Lighthouse can be seen from many places along the beach, though the best views are from Ecola State Park. The lighthouse is located just to the north of Cannon Beach, about two miles out to sea off Tillamook Head. The building of the lighthouse in the late 1800s was a momentous and dangerous feat of construction. The lighthouse certainly earned its nickname, “Terrible Tilly.” Storms often brought flying rocks and debris through the lantern room and roof. The lighthouse was first lit in 1881 and was decommissioned in 1957 due to the challenges of its upkeep. t Arcadia Beach Located just two miles south of Cannon Beach is a picnic area and beach access at the Arcadia Beach State Recreation Site. The beach features interesting rock formations and tidepools just waiting to be explored. Walk north to Silver Point or about a mile south to Hug Point. Hug Point About three miles south of Cannon Beach, Hug Point State Recreation Area offers scenic beach access and a peek at some local history. At lower tides, you can walk north, just around the point where you will find sea caves, a small waterfall and remnants of the old roadway that hugs the cliff side. Before the Coast Highway was built, the beach and this roadway offered the only passage around this point. When tides allow, you can walk south from Hug Point a mile k or more to the beach at Arch Cape. Oswald West State Park About ten minutes south of Cannon Beach is Oswald West State Park, offering several miles of hiking trails, scenic viewpoints, picnic areas and an easy trail to the beautiful cove of Short Sand Beach. Sky-high scenic viewpoints from turnouts along the Coast Highway offer panoramic coastal views. Hikers can spend a day exploring the Cape Falcon Trail, climb to the top of Neahkahnie Mountain or opt for the quicker jaunt to the dramatic edge of Devil’s Cauldron. The main Oswald West State Park parking area offers easy access to shady picnic areas and walking paths.
