The Best Pacific Northwest Beaches

Thanks to endless miles of protected coastline, the beaches in the Pacific Northwest are some of the most breathtaking in the U.S.

Cannon Beach, Oregon

Oregon’s 363 miles of coastline offers plenty of contenders for best beach. However, Cannon Beach, famous for its 235-foot Haystack Rock, often tops lists for the area’s sheer beauty. Plus, Haystack is one of the best places in the Pacific Northwest for viewing Tufted Puffins in the spring and early summer. Since Cannon Beach is also near Ecola State Park, leave time for hiking trails and whale watching.
