60 min
Haystack Rock
Rising 235 feet from the shoreline, Haystack Rock is one of Oregon’s well-known landmarks. At low tide, visitors can walk up to the rock and explore tide pools containing sea stars and other marine life. From early spring to mid-summer, Tufted Puffins can be observed nesting on the rock.
