CANNON BEACH

(Wait a moment for photos to download)

Cannon Beach, Oregon is located on Highway 101 about 40 miles south of the Columbia River, the borderline between Oregon and Washington. Signs indicating Cannon Beach turn offs are plainly visible on the Highway.

Reportedly, strict land use planning has enabled Cannon Beach to maintain its natural beauty and charm while accommodating growth and increased tourism.

Among the planning are streets that end at the beachfront, deliberately accessible to beach walking. Among the natural beauties is Haystack Rock, which can be reached on foot during low tide. At 235 feet high, Haystack Rock is the third largest coastal monolith in the world.
