After walking through the park and viewing the waterfalls in Oregon's Silver Falls State Park, we head over to the Pacific Ocean and stop at Cannon Beach, named one of the world's 100 most beautiful places by National Geographic. The stunning coastline, fabulous sandy beaches, and views of Haystack Rock offer an incredible experience.
First views of the beach
Haystack Rock is one of the most recognized landmarks on the Oregon Coast and is known for its fabulous natural landscape, abundant wildlife, accessible tide pools, and use as a filming location for movies such as The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop. The rock is a nesting area for many seabirds, including the tufted puffin.

Walking the beach
Tide coming in
As the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean, the sky lights up, Haystack Rock stands out, and visitors build fires on the beach to counter the crisp evening air.
Sunset
Beach bonfires
After sunset, we wander down the street to find dinner of baked halibut and seafood stew, then return to our hotel to sleep and stroll the beach again in the morning.
