Oregon's iconic coastal beach — the 235-foot Haystack Rock sea stack at low tide reveals a tide-pool wonderland with sea stars, anemones, and Tufted Puffin nesting colony April–July. The village is one of the prettiest on the Oregon Coast — galleries, the Bistro at the Cannon Beach Hotel, the cheese factory.
