passes the firehouse, the police station, the Cannon Beach Historical
Society museum, Coaster theatre Playhouse, and the library. Goes
through a garden, quiet residential neighborhoods, a couple of parks,
the business district (for shopping/eating) and, of course, the Pacific
Ocean beach. Visit the water treatment lagoons and observe varied
and abundant waterfowl. Scenes from the 1985 movie "The Goonies"
were filmed with Haystack Rock in the background and along the entrance
road to Ecola State Park. Lewis & Clark documented their
travel
from Ft. Clatsop to what is now Les Shirley Park to view a beached
whale.
