Cannon Beach is a city in Clatsop County, Oregon, United States. Its population was 1,690 at the 2010 census. It is a popular coastal Oregon tourist destination, famous for Haystack Rock, a 235 ft (72 m) sea stack that juts out along the coast. In 2013, National Geographic listed it as "one of the world’s 100 most beautiful places."
History
Cannon Beach and its surrounding coast was previously settled by the Tillamook people.
William Clark, one of the leaders of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, journeyed to Cannon Beach in early 1805. The expedition was wintering at Fort Clatsop, roughly 20 miles (32 km) to the north near the mouth of the Columbia River. In December 1805, two members of the expedition returned to camp with blubber from a whale that had beached several miles south, near the mouth of Ecola Creek. Clark later explored the region himself. From a spot near the western cliffs of the headland he saw "...the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed, in front of a boundless Ocean..." That viewpoint, later dubbed "Clark's Point of View," can be accessed by a hiking trail from Indian Beach in Ecola State Park.
Clark and several of his companions, including Sacagawea, completed a three-day journey on January 10, 1806, to the site of the beached whale. They encountered a group of Tillamook who were boiling blubber for storage. Clark and his party met with them and successfully bartered for 300 pounds (136 kg) of blubber and some whale oil before returning to Fort Clatsop. There is a whale sculpture commemorating the encounter between Clark's group and the Tillamooks in a small park at the northern end of Hemlock Street.
Clark applied the name Ekoli to what is now Ecola Creek. Ehkoli is a Chinook word for "whale". Early settlers later renamed the creek "Elk Creek", and a community with the same name formed nearby.
In 1846, a carronade, a short naval cannon, from the US Navy schooner Shark, which had sunk earlier that year, washed ashore just north of Arch Cape, a few miles south of the community. The schooner hit land while attempting to cross the Columbia Bar, also known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific." The cannon, rediscovered in 1898, eventually inspired a name change for the growing community. In 1922, Elk Creek was renamed Cannon Beach (reflecting the 8-mile (13 km) beach that extends south of Ecola Creek to Arch Cape) at the insistence of the Post Office Department because the name was frequently confused with Eola. Elk Creek itself was renamed Ecola Creek to honor William Clark's original name.
The cannon is now housed in the city's museum and a replica of it can be seen alongside U.S. Route 101. Two more cannons, also believed to have been from the Shark, were discovered on Arch Cape over the weekend of February 16, 2008.
U.S. Highway 101 formerly ran through Cannon Beach. In 1964, a tsunami generated by the Good Friday earthquake came ashore along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. The subsequent flooding inundated parts of Cannon Beach and washed away the highway bridge located on the north side of city. The city, now isolated from the highway, decided to attract visitors by holding a sand castle contest, an event that still continues annually every June.

Parks and recreation
Cannon Beach is recognized by the well-known landmark Haystack Rock, located southwest of downtown Cannon Beach. This sea stack has an elevation of 235 feet (72 m) and is often accessible at low tide, especially in the summertime. There is a small cave system that penetrates its igneous rock that can be seen from the coastline. The rock is also protected as part of Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and events are not allowed within 100 feet (30 m) of either side of the rock. Near Haystack Rock are the Needles, two tall rocks rising straight out of the water.
Four parks can be found within city limits: Haystack Hill State Park, Les Shirley Park, John Yeon State Natural Site (closed to visitors), and Tolovana Beach State Recreation Site.
Media and film
The Cannon Beach Gazette, a local newspaper that covers area politics, news, sports and community events, is published bi-weekly on every other Thursday of the month. The paper is owned and operated by Country Media Inc.
Cannon Beach and Ecola State Park have appeared in several films, including The Goonies (1985), Free Willy (1993), Twilight (2008), Hysterical (1983), and Point Break (1991).

Geschichte
Am 6. Januar 1806 machte sich Captain William Clark mit zwölf Männern der Lewis-und-Clark-Expedition von ihrem Winterquartier Fort Clatsop auf den Weg, um einen gestrandeten Wal zu suchen. Sie erreichten den Walkadaver unweit von Tillamook Head. Clark benannte einen Bach Ecola Creek nach „Ekoli“, dem Chinook-Wort für Wal. Am 10. September 1846 sank der US-Schoner USS Shark beim Versuch, die Barre des Columbia River zu überqueren. Ein Teil des Wracks wurde südlich von Tillamore Head an Land gespült. Nach einem Wintersturm wurde 1894 eine der Kanonen des Schoners am Strand entdeckt. Die Kanone geriet in Privatbesitz, der Fundort wurde Cannon Beach genannt. Eine Nachbildung der Kanone ist heute am Highway 101 ausgestellt, das Original befindet sich im Cannon Beach History Center and Museum. Die von amerikanischen Siedlern gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gegründete Siedlung wurde zuerst nach dem bei Arch Cape in den Pazifik mündenden Bach Ecola genannt. Da Ecola häufig mit dem Ort Eola in Oregon verwechselt wurde, wurde der Ort 1922 in Cannon Beach umbenannt.
Cannon Beach ist berühmt für seine Landmarke Haystack Rock nahe Tolovana Park im Südwesten des Ortes sowie für seine Künstlerkolonie. Viele Touristen kommen auch zur Walbeobachtung hierher. Nördlich des Orts liegt der Ecola State Park, etwa 14 km südlich der Oswald West State Park.
Der durch das Karfreitagsbeben am 27. März 1964 ausgelöste Tsunami zerstörte eine Brücke des Highway 101 bei Cannon Beach. Um den Tourismus in der Stadt wieder zu beleben, wurde im August 1965 am Strand der erste Sandburgen-Wettbewerb der kontinentalen USA veranstaltet. Seitdem wird der Sandskulpturenwettbewerb, der Sandcastle Day, jährlich im Sommer ausgetragen. Veranstalter ist die örtliche Industrie- und Handelskammer (Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce).
Der National Park Service führt für Cannon Beach vier Bauwerke und Stätten im National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) an (Stand 4. Januar 2019).

The good thing about being in the beach is that you've got to enjoy watching your children play and have a great time. They seem to have boundless energy when it comes to playing and swimming in the beach. If not for the tropical heat, I would have left them to play the whole day, unwavering in their pursuit for pure fun.
Its was one of the few moments in her life that we've went to the beach. This one was in boracay a few months back. But when it comes to beaches wherever that may be, the glow in their eyes are very evident of the joy and the pleasure that they have like that they'll have the whole days of fun ahead of them. They wake up early than usual and stayed late than usual and we were scrambling to catch up with the schedule. But that's fine because we enjoyed every moment of it. For parents like me these experiences makes me very happy and relive the memories of our childhood days.
