Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock & Sea-Cliff Trails

Begin your full-day journey with hotel pickup in Portland and head toward the Pacific along the scenic coast. You’ll stop at viewpoints such as Neahkahnie Point or other coastal vistas for sweeping ocean & cliff views.

Explore a short trail through old-growth forest (for example at Oswald West State Park or equivalent) that leads to a quiet beach (e.g., Short Sands) for breathing space and nature immersion.

Arrive at Cannon Beach: stroll the sand, browse local galleries and shops, then approach Haystack Rock - admire its size, tide-pool life and ocean presence.

Throughout the day you’ll have a friendly local guide providing geologic, ecological & cultural insight - making this more than a drive: it’s a meaningful pause in nature.

Pack layers (coastal winds + forest shade), comfortable shoes for trail + sand, and your camera - this outing blends calm exploration and iconic scenery.
