Cannon Beach

Hug Point State Recreation Site

Just south of Cannon Beach, this little wayside gives you easy access to the scenic beach and a peek at some interesting history. Imagine traveling by stagecoach along the beach (before the highway was built, the beach was the only way to go). North of the parking area you can still walk along the original trail carved into the point by the stagecoaches. The wayside was named after this trail because it hugs the point.
