Canon Beach, Oregon


As we continue north on route 101 on the beautiful Oregon coast, we drove through many small villages. The scenery was breathtaking and we needed to stop to stretch our legs so we parked and walked around the town of Canon Beach. The beach is recognized by its well-known landmark, Haystack Rock. This igneous rock has an elevation of 235 feet, and is accessible at low tide. Near Haystack Rock are the Needles, two tall rocks rising straight out of the water.
Downtown Cannon Beach is filled with many small businesses and happily no chain stores like Walmart etc, are allowed.
We stayed the night just outside the town and will move on to Portland for Deschutes Brewery 22nd anniversary bash in the streets. Jaimie will need a GPS chip attached for sure or the address of our campground written in ink on her forehead.
