Road cycling

Cannon Beach is a small coastal city in northwest Oregon. It’s known for its long, sandy shore. Standing tall in the ocean, Haystack Rock is a seasonal haven for tufted puffins. On a headland to the north, trails in Ecola State Park offer sweeping views of the ocean, coves and a lighthouse. South is Arcadia Beach, with tide pools and a picnic area. Nearby Hug Point has sea caves. Boutiques and galleries dot downtown.

An incredible amount of Pedestrian and Auto Traffic on roads, be careful.

Haystack Rock is a basalt sea stack that reaches a height of 235 feet (71.63m). From April to September, bring binoculars to view the puffins flying in and out of the crevices as they nest for the season. Other seabirds that can be viewed during spring include murres and cormorants. During low tide, you can explore the tide pools full of sea stars, anemones, colorful nudibranchs and sea slugs at the base of the rock. Avoid going beyond the signs disallowing passage, as Haystack is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
