If you've seen The Goonies, Point Break or Twilight (plus many other movies), you'll love visit. My favorite beach is Indian Beach. I also love the 1.5 mile hike to the viewpoint, adjacent to the beach. More

Clean and welcoming - fee was $5 to get in; worth it. Easy to find. Lots of company there - popular beach and historical area. Clean. Exciting to be outside and enjoying. Lots of climbing to do, if you need to wear out the kids. More

There is now a small entry fee to get into the park, now, but it's free during off season. It used to be free all the time. Nothing stays the same.... More

It was a beautiful, if windy, day and the views from the park were amazing. It's work the $5 charge just for that! If it's warm enough, bring... More

What a beautiful and unmatched experience. The views of the coast from Ecola are incredible and Indian Beach had such incredible energy. Peaceful, calm and exhilarating all at once. More

Arriving by a winding road with rainforest type moss on the trees was very impressive, the view on Cannon Beach and Tillamook lighthouse is absolutely gorgeous. Didn't have time to explore more as it was late, would love to go again. More
