Haystack Rock

Haystack Rock is a majestic sight to behold and a must-see for travelers and photographers. Sitting just offshore in the Pacific Ocean, this 235-foot monolith is part of the Oregon Coast's geologic wonder, Cannon Beach. Visitors can explore the rock during low tide, discovering an abundance of vibrant sea life and tide pools. Bring your camera to capture the beautiful sunsets, or join a Haystack Rock Awareness Program ranger-led tour and learn about the diverse seabird and starfish colonies that live around the huge rock. Don’t miss the incredible bird watching opportunities during the summer months when seabirds nest on the rock. Haystack Rock is the perfect place to explore and capture the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
