Haystack Rock is a 235 ft-tall (72 m) sea stack in Cannon Beach, Oregon. The monolithic rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot at low tide. The Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including starfish , sea anemone , crabs , chitons , limpets , and sea slugs .
A sea stack, named "Chief Kiwanda rock", is located 1 ⁄ 2 mile (0.80 km) southwest of the cape. It is one of three features along the Oregon Coast that are called "Haystack Rock", [2] though the one in Cannon Beach is more widely known. One of the attractions, called the Duckbill, in the park was destroyed by vandals in August 2016.

The beauty of the scene is completed by a succession of rocky tops and nestling tarns, until the high point is reached at the western end. A sharp descent over rock now follows, leading to Scarth Gap, 1,460 ft (450 m), a walkers' pass between the two valleys. Beyond the ridge rises again to High Crag, a steep climb on scree.
