We had so many "favorite" things we did during our time in Oregon, but genuinely Hug Point may have been the favorite. It was a total unplanned stop, we just overheard someone say it was really cool and decided to check it out. Man, I am glad we did. If you have young kids, you absolutely have to come out to Hug Point. There are so many little waterfalls, tide pools, caves, swirly sand formations and more to explore. You could spend days here exploring all there is to see and not see it all. One of my absolute favorite stops along the Oregon Coast.

I'm more of a quiet person who enjoys nature and my personal space. Hug Point was definitely a nice change from Cannon Beach by Haystack Rock. There were cool rock features along the shore, a little waterfall, and even a few "caves" to check out. It was very pretty and a much more peaceful time after being at Haystack Rock earlier. This is definitely worth the stop.

This was a must-do stop on our way back from Cannon Beach. We were able to see Haystack Rock from the beach, from the other side of the Rock. (We went to Ecola State Park first). The beach is beautiful and is home to huge rock formations with shallow caves and even a small waterfall. The beach is huge and allowed us to walk for awhile and enjoy the ocean. Plenty of parking, restrooms and a short walk to the beach were appreciated.
