A non-profit helping Haystack Rock and its inhabitants flourish through healthy connections between people and nature for all time.
Tens of thousands of people visit Cannon Beach each year for the natural beauty of the beach, Haystack Rock and its Marine Garden. The Marine Garden is a protected intertidal ecosystem that allows visitors to see and interact with sea creatures. However, there are rules to follow in order to protect these creatures.
Most visitors come in summer when the tide pools are teeming and the nesting birds, proudly showing off breeding plumage, are busy hatching and raising chicks.
Welcome! Enjoy the beach, the tide pools, the birds, and the beauty of Haystack Rock.
It's nesting season at Haystack Rock. Every April tufted puffins return to Haystack Rock to nest. The camera is currently zoomed in on a couple active burrows. Your best chance to see the puffins occupying these burrows is in the morning between 8 am and 11 am.
To view recordings of the burrows from the past few weeks, click on the camera and then click on the calendar to select a date.
Audubon and partners are launching new efforts to save this declining seabird.
Your financial donation to Friends of Haystack Rock supports vital work to ensure the future of marine life at Haystack Rock.
