The Beaches of Ecola State Park Oregon Coast

by Dave Jackson

Ecola State Park is a complete recreation destination that has something for everyone. Have a picnic with your family and friends and then hit the various hiking trails to explore the natural beauty of this park. Ecola State Park is by far our favorite place on the coast. The views are just fantastic! There is a vast amount of beach, rock, small caves and a view of the lighthouse. I have seen elk in the park almost every other visit. Fly a kite, watch the sea creatures in the tide pools, or take pictures of famous Haystack Rock. Relaxing on the beach is part of the Cannon Beach experience. In fact you can see Haystack Rock from the main parking area at the park. This photo was taken along a trail that winds through the trees and pops out to views of the coast from time to time.
