Insane views all around! Both the main viewpoints weren’t too crowded and had great views— one of the coast, and one of the coast and the old Tillamook Lighthouse.
There is a little known trail somewhere in the park that leads to some insane views of the coast, plus beach access. The path to get to the beach is steep and overgrown, so I wouldn’t recommend it for kids or dogs. Wear long pants too since there are sticker bushes.
Parking was easy and just cost $7.

Beautiful place. 2 bathrooms- the one we used was remodeled and very clean. The trails to the beach were washed away a handful of years ago, so you can't make it there the conventional way. Part of The Goonies was filmed in this location. A beautiful view in general and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in visiting this area of the Oregon coast.
Beautiful! Ample parking. Great picnic spot. Bathrooms aren’t dirty, but do a once-over for spiders.
Very peaceful and relaxing viewpoint! There is a parking lot close to the viewpoint! And you just need to walk about 10 minutes to reach to this amazing spot!
It was a little stormy, but very beautiful. Obviously, very nostalgic because of Kindergarten Cop in The Goonies. The clouds broke just in time to get a great view of the Tillamook lighthouse in the distance.
Some of the far-reaching trails to the end of the rocks were blocked off because of landslide concerns.
Also, you can access the Crescent Beach/Cannon Beach trail to the left of the main restroom by the parking lot. I highly recommend that hike if you get a chance. Stunning nature as you trek down to the beach.

Obviously you want to go here because of pop culture stuff. Absolute banger of a reason to go here. But there are also so nice hiking trails as well. The parking lot is pretty big and only cost 5 dollars. It is a self pay kiosk. There are plenty of park restrooms. The main viewpoint paths are super easy walks. Some of the other trails are a little tougher. The road to get here off the highway will take you a bit it’s narrow and twisty
An absolute must stop on your trip to coastal Oregon. Most beautiful view on our trip by far! The trip down to the Fork between Ecola and Indian Beach is a little rough, so be careful when driving as the road is winding. From the two small pathways, you get amazing views of the ocean as well as past haystack rock. There is a little sitting area along the main path as well as information graphics littered Along with the area. There is no hike necessary in order to reach these view points so they are definitely handicap accessible—just with steep paved hills.
My bf and I went tide pooling on the morning of November 29th. We saw some bright green sea anemone, some hermit crabs, and some sea snails, but no starfish! I asked an employee at the Seattle Aquarium about the lack of starfish here, because other reviews mention starfish, and she said that starfish wasting disease has been bad this year due to warmer waters for longer. So the starfish either had to move into deeper/colder waters to survive, or passed away. I hope to see some next year! The beach is beautiful regardless and a gorgeous drive to get there.
Small but lovely beach. The hiking trail was very peaceful and beautiful but there were numerous fallen trees blocking the path which was a bit frustrating and inconvenient.
One of the best views of the Oregon coast. There is also a good view of the Tillamook Lighthouse. Please stay on the trail and obey rules and regulations. Make it possible to return and see the natural beauty again - untouched.
Stairs from the parking lot down to the beach. It's a really nice beach, very clean and clear water. It had a good amount of people (families, dogs, and surfers) but didnt feel crowded
Stunning views and so many starfish and anemones at low tide! We came around sunset and saw a ton of surfers as well. More of a rock beach than a shell beach. From the parking area ($5 day use fee), you can follow along the trails or take the stairs down to the beach.
I recommend going at low tide to see the tide pools. The road to get here is narrow and a lot of people around here drive trucks or campers, so drive carefully. Parking is $5.00 unless you have the pass
Our first time here. It was a foggy day but still beautiful. Short hike to the beach with lots of rocks and driftwood. Not too much in tide pools but we missed low tide by a couple hours.
Beautiful place to visit. It's a nice beach, and there is a fun trail to hike up to look over the ocean and a few lookouts to see the light house out on the ocean
This place is lovely. I've been coming here for years. The beach is great to walk on and has some great tide pools. There are also plenty of trails to hike. It's tucked away down the road in Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach.
