    Cannon Beach - Please follow their tidepool rules to save the creatures!

    Cannon Beach is one of those magical coastal towns that feels like stepping into a postcard. Yeah…read moreit looks exactly like the postcard. From the moment I arrived, I knew this was the spot to have bonfires. The beach itself is wide and inviting, and Haystack Rock towers out of the ocean just off the shore, a stunning icon that draws everyone's eye. But it's not just the shoreline that makes Cannon Beach special. You can walk along the neighborhoods and enjoy the cute little shops. Downtown is small but charming. I loved walking through the artsy streets filled with galleries, specialty shops, and cozy cafés. I was able to slow down away from city life, shop for a handmade memento, and sit with a latte watching the waves. On a breezy afternoon, I saw people flying their kites and took advantage of the open beach breeze, so fun to watch. If you want a beautifully scenic beach getaway that's both peaceful and inspiring, Cannon Beach is absolutely worth a stop.

    Cannon Beach is stunning -- especially Haystack Rock with its dramatic waves, wide shoreline, and…read morefresh ocean air. It's the kind of place you naturally want to return to. The only downside is beach access. If you follow Google Maps from downtown, it may lead you to a stair-heavy entrance with no ADA access and very limited parking -- not ideal for strollers, wheelchairs, or anyone with mobility needs. Tip: skip the default route and go to W. Gower Street instead. It's flat, easy, stroller-friendly, and takes you directly onto the sand without stairs. Also, expect strong wind along the shoreline. A hooded windbreaker is highly recommended -- even on calm-looking days, the wind can be surprisingly intense. Overall, Cannon Beach is a 5-star destination. Just knowing the right access point and coming prepared for the weather makes the experience even better.

Go on hikes,look for rocks shells,surf, get lost in nature, just sit in the grass and watch the ocean. Here is what you can do at Ecola State Park: Hiking & Walking: Explore trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging hikes through Sitka spruce forests. The Clatsop Loop Trail follows the path of1806 explorers, while the Oregon Coast Trail offers longer, scenic treks. Indian Beach: A popular, secluded cove for surfing, sunbathing, and tide-pooling to see sea stars and anemones. Viewpoints: Take in spectacular vistas from Ecola Point, including views of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse ("Terrible Tilly") and distant Haystack Rock. Wildlife Viewing: The park is known for herds of elk grazing in the meadows, as well as sightings of bald eagles and migrating gray whales. Picnicking: Enjoy lunch at the picnic areas located on the grassy bluffs with ocean views. Photography: The dramatic, moody coastline provides excellent opportunities for photography. Oregon State

    Forgive me for this late review. I should have written it long ago, but perhaps the trees and the…read moreocean were patient enough to wait. The drive through the forest is a passage into another world. Sitka spruce and hemlock lean over the road as if they are curious about you. At the end of the road the land opens and the Pacific announces itself in vast gray blues and greens, broken by sea stacks that rise like stubborn monuments. The trails are generous. Some wander to secret beaches, others climb to high points where the ocean and horizon meet like two old friends. Indian Beach is a gathering of tide pools, surfers, and quiet sand. Crescent Beach feels private, almost hidden, with the company of seals if you are lucky. Wildlife belongs here as much as people. Elk graze, eagles soar, and sometimes whales turn the water into theater. The park offers all of this without asking much in return, except that you take your time. Bring layers because the wind and mist move through the park like they own the place. Take your time. Sit, watch, breathe. This park gives you a rare combination of accessibility, natural beauty, and serenity. I regret not praising this place sooner. Ecola State Park holds the kind of beauty that makes you feel both small and fortunate. Five stars, without hesitation.

    update 4/25: of course, it's not just waters to the north, sharks don't know what a boundary…read moreis...http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/04/25/ca.shark.attack/index.html There's a surf spot up north in Oregon known locally as "Kong's". It has an official name but Oregonian surfers just hate it when one of their "hidden treasures" is publicized and who am I to cause hate and discontent among the masses? I want to surf there again and I need to maintain the anonymity of the place or face a cold reception. And Oregon knows cold. Kong's has a unique geologic feature, the nexus of the name, a huge craggy seastack that juts from the ocean just offshore looking exactly like the head of mighty King Kong. And if it weren't for all the fishermen, surfers and facilities in the area, you could get the heebie-jeebies on a cold, foggy morning paddling your board out towards that outcrop, where the surf is. You might expect to see tribes of fierce feathered and boned African warriors stroking a war canoe out to intercept your dinky little craft to shrink your head, or worse, even though you know, in your heart of hearts, that that's not possible. The mind conjures fear where none exists. However, there are plenty of very real dangers here that the mind doesn't need to imagine. Sometimes it's the boaters who "pretend" they don't see you as they motor in or out of the channel, screaming epithets at you for getting in their way. Sometimes, it's the surf that smashes you off your board and slams you to the bottom holding you underwater until you near black-out before finally releasing you to claw for the surface, praying your board is still nearby and in one piece. But for me, it's the sharks. This place has seen several shark attacks over the years and it gets spooky sitting out there by yourself not knowing what's lurking just beneath your feet. Now and then something bumps into your leg and, on a foggy day, I guarantee you'll shit yourself. This is Great White country and surfers nothing more than interlopers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_white_shark). He has more right to be here than you and when he strikes, it's usually as fatal as it is unprovoked. The bite could be just a warning or it might be a taste-test, animal experts are still trying to figure that out, but you won't care. You'll probably die from blood loss anyway before you make it to shore...if you make it. Some people just...disappear. All part of the mystical and eerie magic of surfing a place called "Kongs". Or Solana Beach, or...(insert name) P.S., often the best surf section at Kong's is an area known as "Shark Pit". So go out and have some fun now and watch for things that go bump in the dark.
