Almost two hours west of Portland, Oregon is Cannon Beach and the Pacific Ocean. It is a quaint sea-side town with a population of less than 2,000 people that relies heavily on tourism. Although Cannon Beach was incorporated as a city in 1957, the town was inhabited by settlers dating back to the 1800s.

FLG – these pictures are beautiful. What a great beach! so cool you got to view it when no one was there.
Thank you! It reminded furrylittlegnome of the movie “Goonies”.
Hubby was up in Washington state for a day last week. I like those sand prints. Too cold for toes?
There was no way furrylittlegnome could expose her toes in those elements!
I forgot to mention I also liked the rocks jutting out of the ocean. While on Maui one of the waterfalls which I was silly enough to want to actually get in…was FREEZING! Once I was numb – it wasn’t so bad. 🙂 I like the ocean better. Warmer and up to my chin and I could look down and still see my toes.
Thanks. Furry went into her Northwest trip with zero planning – she let another gnome handle all of the details on this adventure. So, seeing things like the rocks in the Pacific, the waterfalls, etc was a treat!
