Indian Beach

The destination point of the trail is the serene Indian Beach, where we find small families of surfers both challenging the waves and relaxing along the peaceful shore. We linger for the better part of an hour here, enjoying the show and relishing the energy of this special place.

Paddle ball and puppy dogs are also in abundance at this remote location, a beach we would visit quite often if this were our home. A sense of community is very evident and we feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon this small cove. It's truly the perfect ending to our little outing this day.

Cannon Beach and it's garden rich neighborhood, the famous marine life of Haystacks, and the heaven we find at Indian Beach all make for one of our favorite day adventures!

Let's Hike

Ecola State Park is a quick and gorgeous drive from the Haystacks and provides us with the perfect opportunity for a picnic with amazing views of this beautiful landmark we've just visited. Ample trails are available and we set out after our lunch on one of the many paths offering some of the most scenic viewpoints we've encountered.







Winding through the forested trail, this particular 2 mile hike takes us up to a summit showcasing the rocky shores of Indian Beach and back down leading out to this little surfer's haven. The hike provides a good workout and the vistas well worth the effort. It's a beautiful day, even with the cloudy skies, and we enjoy our trek thoroughly.
