Cradled between the Pacific Ocean and Oregon’s coastal mountain ranges is the City of Cannon Beach, one of Oregon’s best-kept secrets. Populated with artists, art galleries and restaurants, Cannon Beach is a quiet, beautiful town by-the-sea. It's famous for its rugged natural beauty - such as forested headlands, magnificent monoliths, miles of pristine beaches - and its film locations. Cannon Beach is where the uber-famous Twilight (2008) and The Goonies (1985) and also Point Break (1991).

Haystack Rock stands 235 feet over the beach, making it one of the largest features on the Pacific coastline, and the third largest monolith in the world.  It’s made of basalt, and was formed by lava flows and countless years of erosion.

 Cannon Beach is located on the Oregon Coast, 80 miles West of Portland and 25 miles south of Astoria. It is 90 miles from Portland International Airport and 200 miles from Seattle. 

I think, this place is good to go and celebrate your anniversary of love:)

 Breathtaking view 

                                     

 ECOLA STATE PARK: Located just one mile north of downtown Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park winds through thick rain-forest and emerges at one of the best viewpoints on the North Oregon Coast. The main parking area is just steps from an expansive view of the coastline to the south including Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock and Cape Falcon more than 10 miles to the south. The Tillamook Rock Lighthouse can be seen just offshore to the west. The park offers excellent wildlife, bird and sea life viewing; and is one of the coast’s best vantage points for watching Gray Whales during their twice-yearly migrations.

After the sun has gone down make a fire on the beach, fires are allowed and you'll see a lot of people hanging out on the beach well after the sun has gone down. 

  


For me that is a  magical and absolutely perfect place!!!! I wish I will back next summer! 

Thank you!
