A very pretty beach. Haystack Rock is at this beach. It is not a desolate beach, so if you're expecting a solitary walk on a picturesque beach, this is not the one. However, if you simply want to see the beauty of a natural phenomenon like Haystack Rock, it is worth a visit.

Absolutely love the PNW, especially Cannon beach area. We stopped here for the 2nd time, and enjoyed a great evening. We had a nice fire going and enjoyed the sunset here. It was super romantic and just the perfect setting. We got to see bunnies as well which was pretty neat!

My family loves to come to probably the most beautiful beach in the PNW. The shops in town are fun. It's very family friendly and dog friendly. The sunsets by Haystack Rock are incredible along with the wildlife. We are just finishing up our fun adventure. Here are some photos.

This is a nice beach to come and enjoy the view. You can also walk around in the sand as well. The walk wasn't so bad from where we parked. We just had to walk down some stairs and then the beach was right there. We came on the perfect day because it wasn't sunny or too hot. There were a decent amount of people enjoying the beach as well. They also have a public bathroom here which is not a potter potty so that's a huge win for me.
