Dusty & Jeff
Things To Do
Haystack Rock
The tide pools at Haystack Rock are the location where Jeff tried to impress Dusty by doing the "dancer" yoga pose on a slippery rock, and then fell off the rock, cutting open his leg on barnacles and injuring his shoulder. When walking the beach, Haystack Rock is the main unit of measure used when determining how long our walk is going to be. Haystack Rock was also made slightly-more-relevant-to-daily-life by featuring in the movie The Goonies. There are tide pools at the base, and many of the iconic "Cannon Beach" kitsch sold in town prominently feature this geological formation. If you are lucky, you may be able to spot a puffin or two flying to their nesting grounds on the backside of the Rock. Check the tide tables to see when Low Tide is. Come back at High Tide to see a drastically different view! Here's a link to see when the next tide is occurring (note this is NOT for driving directions): https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=9437585
Lovely Ponds
Also known as Cannon Beach's premier wastewater treatment plant - and a great place for birdwatching (seriously!)
Warren House Pub
Favorite walk destination. Cozy, great menu with options for all, and solid beer menu. Pool table and darts, too!
Lost Art of Nursing Museum
Museum is in the basement of the curator. Also, this is where the humbugs live!
Coastal Yarns
Tatty and Karen have purchased many a yarn from this store. Dusty made Jeff a scarf using yarn from this store, and is currently knitting the world's accidentally-largest baby blanket and singlehandedly keeping Coastal Yarns in business by buying skeins and skeins of yarn.
Ecola Creek State Park
Embarrassingly, we have not explored this park. Mostly because we are almost always in CB in the dead of winter. Maybe this year will be the year of Ecola Creek exploration!
Eddie Bauer Outlet
Most of our outerwear gear comes from here. Not because we're so in love with Eddie Bauer, but because everything is 50-80% off when we are in town. There are other stores at this outlet mall, too.
Camp 18 Logging Museum & Restaurant
One of the only roadside attractions (and/or buildings at all) on Hwy 26 between Cannon Beach and Portland city limits. Home to very large cinnamon rolls.
