Located in Northwestern Oregon near Portland (45°53′21″N 123°57′39″W), it was first recorded by American William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805. The expedition was holed up at Fort Clatsop for the winter, which was approximately 20 miles north from the mouth of the Columbia River, and later explored the region, ultimately bartering with the Tillamook tribe for whale blubber.

Cannon Beach is best known for its landmark Haystack Rock. Haystack is a 235-foot tall igneous rock that is accessible at low tide, and features a small cave system. The beach was also prominently displayed in the ‘85 film, The Goonies, during the race rally on the beach.
