7 Places to Catch an Oregon Sunset
Cannon Beach is known for its breathtaking sunsets, which are made even more stunning by the dramatic Pacific Ocean backdrop. There are plenty of places to view this nightly spectacle, but here are some of our favorites.
- Watch the sun sink into the horizon from the comfort of your room at our Cannon Beach hotel. Our oceanfront rooms come with private balconies or patios that offer stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean.
- Haystack Rock is one of the most popular spots in town for a reason. At sunset, the well-known rock formation is illuminated with a golden glow. Because our hotel is only steps from the beach, walking down to catch a glimpse of this attraction is a breeze.
- Head just north of Cannon Beach to Ecola State Park. The Oregon park has elevated viewpoints along the coastline so you can enjoy panoramic views of the ocean, rugged cliffs, and beaches.
- Within Ecola State Park is Indian Beach. This is perhaps one of the best-kept secret spots. The rocky shoreline and forested cliffs provide a serene setting, making it a great spot for couples looking to enjoy a romantic sunset.
- Make your way south of Haystack Rock, and you’ll reach Tolovana Beach State Recreation Site. Because this is a less crowded beach, you’ll be able to enjoy more wide-open views.
- Found at the north end of town is Chapman Point. This spot provides visitors with views of the ocean and sea stacks to the south. It is perhaps one of the best vantage points to watch the sun setting over the water.
- With a name like Sunset Beach State Recreation Site, it should be no surprise this spot earned a place on our list. Located in nearby Astoria, the park has an ADA-accessible boardwalk leading to the beach and offers expansive views.
