Cannon Beach


I stopped briefly in Cannon Beach on my way north. Not a whole lot to say about it, I was only there to see the sea stacks. The most famous of these is Haystack Rock, the one featured in my pictures.

My favorite part of Haystack Rock was the quality of the surrounding tide pools. There were tons of anemones and even a big starfish. I had been looking for tide pools for days, and these were the first ones to harbor anything other than seaweed.



This is a close up of the rocks in the right of the previous picture. Lots and lots of mussels.

  1. Everything in the Pacific is so large---the starfish, the anemones, the crabs!
    I am enjoying my virtual trip around Oregon and Washington.
