Description
Stretching between Cannon Beach and Seaside, this park maintains a firm connection to the Lewis and Clark expedition alongside its natural terrain. The landscape features rugged beaches including Indian Beach and Crescent Beach, providing varied access points for those navigating the shoreline. While the terrain is a draw for its perspective, be aware that the paths are sensitive to the elements; it is common for trails to be muddy or challenging depending on the prevailing weather. The experience is defined by these shifts between high-vantage coastal lookouts and the raw, unpolished beach front.
