My husband and I went to Ecola State Park at the end of May on a road trip from California to Canada. We went to go to Indian Beach, but there was no parking. There was about a 20-minute wait to get into the park itself! We ended up parking at Ecola State View Point and hiking over to Indian... more

I thought Ecola State Park was great. I didn't go to Indian Beach, but I did take the drive through all the spruce trees into the park. There are picnic benches here and nice places to walk. I think there is a place called Sea Lion Rocks here as well. There are beautiful cliffs and outstanding vistas. It is worthwhile... more

We love to visit here every time we go to Cannon Beach/Seaside. The views are fabulous. In the summer it is great for picnics and hiking. We enjoy the off season, looking for whales, seeing the wild coastline and braving the wind. It is great to hike and look for scenic views to photograph. The Indian Beach section of the... more

We traveled 101 from Astoria to Florence, OR with my husband in August 2008. Ecola State Park is by far our favorite place on the coast. The views are just fantastic! We highly recommend this place. more

This was my first, and by far my favorite, stop on a day-long trip to the Oregon coast. Cannon Beach itself is a tourist trap, but Ecola is full of natural beauty. From Ecola you can enjoy a picnic in a wonderous area, see Cannon Beach in the distance, with its gorgeous haystack rocks. You can see beautiful rock formations... more

In August 2007, my wife and I, along with our two kids (2yo & 6yo), spent 7 days traveling along 101. We started in Florence, OR and drove all the way up to Port Angeles, WA. Our favorite stop along the way was Ecola Beach State Park, and it wasn't even close. When you think of the rugged beauty of... more

Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach This is definitely worth a stop. There are some amazing vistas overlooking the beach, and some really pretty hiking trails. Even though it was raining a lot, and most of trails were too muddy to hike, we like the vistas, the trees, and the beach. The trails would be really fantastic if the weather were... more

In our road trip this summer we had the opportunity to hike and visit Ecola Park. It is a park used by surfers and locals for picnic but for tourist its a must see. Be ready to hike and walk a distance to get to the top and see the views but they are worth the effort. Bring hiking boots,... more
