If you’ve been wanting to explore the Oregon Coast but only have a few days, this plan is perfect for a quick and fun road trip!
📍 Day 1: Ecola State Park + Cannon Beach
Start your trip with a stop at Ecola State Park, the views are amazing! Then head to Cannon Beach to see Haystack Rock, grab a coffee, and check out the cute shops. Make sure to stay for sunset, it’s magical 🌅
