Cannon
Beach was named for a cannon from the shipwrecked USS Shark, which
washed ashore in 1846. The best-known landmark here is
Haystack Rock. It is very large (235 feet tall), and is a
protected "marine garden." There are other large
rocks, tidal caves, and forests. The entire area is very
scenic. The fine-sand beach is wide and flat, and the sand
castle contests are lots of fun.
The
shops are close to the beach and parking is free. This is a
popular destination, so hotels are more expensive here than in
nearby towns.

are often better
from these Web

Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your

help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
