There are few places in America where you can find such a picturesque landscape as the Oregon coast, and Haystack Rock is its signature landmark. The stone formation stands majestically at low tide with colorful sea life colonies around it in abundance, from starfish to seabirds.

Just to the right of Cannon Beach is Ecola State Park, and it’s a must-visit. The park stretches for nine miles along the coastline with great views in all directions. Visitors can also take their camper van rental just about anywhere they want while there.

Visitors also have the opportunity to explore an island that is home to some interesting rock formations and sea caves. They should also be able to see Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach from where they are walking along this beachfront path, which offers beautiful views of cliffs and is a short drive in a camper van rental.

There is a huge colony of rabbits in Cannon Beach, and they all seem to be congregating around the southern edge.

"The Goonies," part of the Twilight saga were filmed in Cannon Beach.

Cannon Beach has the largest Tufted Puffin colony in Oregon. The birds are so famous that they even have their own tide pool ambassador, Cameron Kimball, who tells tourists all about this little known oasis for green sea life.
