Haystack Rock is one of the most popular attractions on the Oregon coast. Towering 235 feet above sea level, it is a protected area, both above and below the high tide line.
 
Located on the Pacific Northwest Coast of Oregon, 80 miles west of Portland and 25 miles south of Astoria, Cannon Beach is surrounded by the rugged natural beauty of forests, ocean beaches, and rivers. Only four miles in length, and with a population near 1,600, Cannon Beach is a popular and picturesque resort area, playing host to an estimated over 400,000 visitors annually. Although Cannon Beach was incorporated as a city in 1957, it has been occupied much longer: first by native cultures, and then, since the late 1800s, by American settlers. In 1806, Captain William Clark, of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, traveled south to our area in order to secure needed blubber from a whale beached near the mouth of Ecola Creek.
