| CANNON BEACH |
Cannon Beach is a popular beach on the Oregon Coast about an hour-and-a-half from Portland. The City of Cannon Beach runs along the length of the beach, and provides many accesses down to the ocean. What makes Cannon Beach unique is the towering Haystack Rock located just off the coast. There are also several sea stacks and various tide pool located around the base of Haystack Rock that are fun to explore during lower tides. During high tides, you won't be able to access this area.
We visited Cannon Beach during an extremely cold and windy day in March, making it a little harder to appreciate. We were really regretting not bringing our winter coats. On our trip we ended up making it to the base of Haystack Rock at dusk and were able to explore the tide pools for a little while before it got dark. However the cold temperatures made us less adventurous than we would otherwise have been.
