Haystack Rock by GuthrieColin
Cannon beach is most well known for its small town feel and the ?Sea Stack? called Haystack Rock. The rock rises 235 feet (72 meters) from the beach and is home to nesting seabirds in the summer and marine invertebrates all year long. The City web site says it is the third largest monolith in the world. I know that El Capitan in Yosemite National Park claims to be the largest granite monolith but title?s aside it is quite impressive. The 200,000 visitors to the rock per year would probably agree with me as well.
