haystack rock

We love cannon beach! Rain or shine it's always beautiful. Be prepared to come away with sand in every corner of your clothing, bags, and shoes though!

The rock is unique and memorable to see. At low tide, one can approach the Rock and see starfish and other marine life around.Not to be missed.

Take a walk on the beach before the sun rises, the fog dissipate and strollers start invading the beach... The sight of these beautiful rocks jutting out of the water is awe inspiring. I must have taken 100s of pictures...A must!

It would be separate from al the other haystack rocks in Oregon. It would be remembered as the accessible rock you can reach at low tide, the one you held your special loved one as the sun set. A thousand reasons to make this Haystack Rock it's own. A meeting place, a place where lovers lament, a place where children play, and adults will climb and look deep into tidal pools. A special place. Dreamers Rock. The Sentinel, The Rock, give it a name. Make it a rock unto itself.

Take your camera and enjoy some photos to remember your visit. Dress in layers as it can bee cool at this beach. Sometimes its foggy but that usually burns off. A great place to enjoy the natural beauty of the Oregon coast.

this is one fab beach with the rocks and sand and shells, we even found whole sand dollars there. the surf is so awesome, and the beach is clean as a whistle. bring the kites.

It was a good sunny weather in February when we visited and we had good time. Perfect for one day trip from portland. Finding parking was little difficult

And though that may be true, I still never get tired of walking on the beach and watching all the seabirds come and go. The tide-pools are spectacular too, with anemones and even the sea stars are making a comeback -- I saw two and had not seen any for a while.

I love having the professionals there to answer questions about the tide pools and aquatic creatures living there. Try to visit at low tide so you can take advantage of this.

I love walking on beaches that have loud, thunderous waves and Cannon Beach has it. It was cloudy, moody, and beautiful. Haystack Rock was great to go explore and take pictures multiple times throughout the day to get the view in all different types of lighting.

Although it's actually a mile off shore it looks like it right close to the beach. Pacific City's Haystack rock boasts all types of bird roosts, plus several miles of beautiful sandy beaches and whale watching plus the dory boats in the summer and surfers too. This is a great place to people watch and crazy watch as well. You can drive down on the beach though I wouldn't recommend it without 4 wheel drive. This is truly a one-of-a-kind place. Savor it.

So many tides pools and ocean life. Volunteers out at the rock to give information also. Lots of hand on

Rain or shine haystack rock is special. Majestic. Dog could run and run. You can help being awed by the rock and the ocean.
