From the Oregon Coast: Cannon Beach in the Summer

Cannon Beach in Summer: The Haystack and the Needle, the other sea stacks and dramatic evening light -- a photo feature from the OR seaside....

If you’ve been a regular on this blog for a while now you might remember the trip to Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast, a few years ago. I’m taking you that side again, this time to see Cannon Beach in Summer.

The last time we were on Cannon Beach it was in Spring and the sky was overcast and threatening to send down some showers (Pacific Northwest springs! 😁). We returned there in the Summer of 2019, and this time there were no signs of the infamous rains of the area. Both times, the sea stacks were what stood out most (for me, at least).

This time we spent the evening there so I got to see those rocky structures against the evening light, too. What pretty pictures they made!

If you are planning to trip to Cannon Beach:

  • The City of Cannon Beach is an hour and a half out of Portland, Oregon.
  • Expect rains in Spring, Fall, and Winter
  • You will find lots of options to stay on the beach
  • Make sure to go get some of your favorite seafood in the many restaurants around there. (Note: There are no fast-food chains, here.)
  • The beach is dog-friendly. 
  • In the evenings you can light fires on the beach and enjoy some s’mores, maybe. 
  • Look out for the wild rabbits in the area. There are plenty of them and they aren’t very scared of people. Just make sure you don’t feed them as that would mean incapacitating them. They would find it difficult to look for their own food when the visitors are almost all gone in the rainy and winter months.
  • Wait until Covid19 is behind us, to make that trip. πŸ™‚ Stay Safe!!

      I wish I could be there too. Or anywhere scenic. I miss tripping.
      Can’t wait for this Covid to be done with.

      You have a wonderful day, too, Tanza. πŸ™‚

    Once again, before I read the location, I thought this was the coast of New Zealand! A wonderful series of a gorgeous place. I’m so glad you shared them with us!

    It’s great to see you at ‘My Corner of the World’ this week!

      I have spent quite some time in the Pacific Northwest and I have seen some great skies.
      The place I stay in now also seems to have some pretty evening skies. I think some places are luckier than others in this aspect. πŸ˜€ 😬😁

      That’s nice. Welcome back to active blogging. πŸ™‚ We need this for sanity during these challenging times.

      It really is.
      With all those rocky features — and not being one of those crazily crowded places — it’s a great place for a weekend.
