If you have never been Tidepooling, visit this web page to make sure you have what you need for a day of fun adventures.

Getting there: Haystack Rock sits in the heart of Cannon Beach. The nearest public parking lot is situated at the junction of Hemlock and Gower Street, right beside City Hall on 163 E. Gower St. We recommend arriving early as parking can be a bit challenging during the busy summer months! To reach the rock, proceed westward along Gower Street from the parking lot to reach the beach access point. Once you arrive at the beach, look south - Haystack Rock will immediately come into view. The journey to the rock takes 12 to 15 minutes on foot. Before heading down, considering a restroom break might be wise – since there are no restroom facilities available on the beach. The closest public restroom is situated just across the street from the parking lot, on Hemlock Street. You can find it next to the American Legion at 1216 S Hemlock St.
