Located near Cannon Beach on the North coast of Oregon, Haystack Rock is a unique monolith that attracts wildlife and tourists alike. Towering 235 feet over the beach, the Rock is home to nesting seabirds in the summer and marine invertebrates all year long. It is one of the largest "sea stacks" on America's Pacific coast, and is the third largest monolith in the world.

I love visiting here, because it seems like paradise, but even paradise has it's hidden secrets.
When the tide is low enough, you can walk into the cave under Haystack Rock and discover the beautiful ecosystem around it.

Nine miles of wide, walkable beach invite visitors to Cannon Beach. The scenic beauty of the seastacks offshore and headlands onshore make your stroll down the sand particularly memorable. Fly a kite, watch the sea creatures in the tidepools, or take pictures of famous Haystack Rock. Relaxing on the beach is part of the Cannon Beach experience.
