Cannon Beach is recognized by the well-known landmark [[Haystack Rock]], located southwest of downtown Cannon Beach. This [[sea stack]] has an elevation of {{convert|235|ft|m}} and is often accessible at [[low tide]], especially in the summertime. There is a small cave system that penetrates its   [[igneous rock]] that can be seen from the coastline. The rock is also protected as part of [[Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge]] and events are not allowed within {{convert|100|ft|m}} of either side of the rock. Near Haystack Rock are the Needles, two tall rocks rising straight out of the water.

Four parks can be found within city limits: Haystack Hill State Park, Les Shirley Park, John Yeon State Natural Site (closed to visitors), and [[Tolovana Beach State Recreation Site]].
