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.
Manual controls coming soon!
Audubon and partners are launching new efforts to save this declining seabird.
