Arcadia Beach State Recreation Site
Arcadia Beach
A quiet small beach south of Cannon Beach, with rich tide pools and few visitors. Ideal for picnics and watching sea stacks.
Arcadia Beach lies about 5 km south of Cannon Beach. A path leads down from a small parking area beside Highway 101. The sand is framed by headlands and rocks. At low tide, the rocks on the north side are a good place to spot sea stars and anemones, and visitors are far fewer than at Haystack Rock. Facilities are simple, with restrooms and picnic tables, and admission is free. It can be combined with the neighboring Hug Point.
