Visit Cannon Beach for a Breath of Salt Air

There's much to see in Cannon Beach. Soaking in the sheer beauty of the North Coast in Cannon Beach will help ease the wrinkled brow and its salt air will cause deep breathing to be restored.

Following are some highlights of the beauty of Cannon Beach: Ecola Creek is the small creek on the north edge of Cannon Beach. It was here that the Lewis and Clark party encountered the Indians who were processing a beached whale and obtained from those Indians some useful products. North of Ecola Creek is Ecola State Park. The view looking south from the picnic area by the parking lot is one of the most recognizable on the Oregon Coast. Looking out to sea, you can get a glimpse of the Terrible Tilly, the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. It was built in 1880 and maintained until 1957. Now privately owned, you can make arrangements to be buried there for a fee.

There's also a beautiful view of Haystack Rock. Beautiful coastal sunsets are experienced there. Cannon Beach is one of the best mini-vacation destinations on the Oregon Coast.
