Cannon Beach, Oregon
This is NOT just any other beach town. This budget-friendly place is one of the most sought-after beaches in our country and the best in Oregon. It features Haystack Rock, a large rock formation a few hundred feet out.
The breathtaking scene is also one of the most popular desktop backgrounds! You can even take a walk out to Haystack Rock when it’s low tide and take a few snapshots with the rock.
But be aware that if the tide is too low, wildlife officers might barricade the area to protect the natural ecosystem. We recommend you visit in the summer if you’d like to go for a swim…it IS, after all, the Pacific Ocean.
You also don’t want to get caught in the rain in spring. So your best bet is to visit this budget-friendly place between June and August.
