Stagecoaches had to “hug” the cliffs tightly to avoid being swept away by the tides, hence the name Hug Point.

Hug Point State Recreation Site may be smaller than some of the more famous Oregon coast destinations, but it certainly holds its own. With its stunning natural beauty, gorgeous seasonal waterfall,

There is currently a whale feeding in the Cove. The tide is coming in so the whale will probably be there for a while, especially if there is plenty to eat. If you get a chance go check it out.
There are reports of the whale being in distress or caught up in a crab trap. Thankfully, the whale is fine and is just taking advantage of the plentiful food in the area before continuing its journey. There are also a lot of pelicans doing the same thing.

“Did you take advantage of the recent low tide series on the north coast to dig up some BIG razor clams?

We hope so!

Now it's time to let the new young clams settle on Clatsop County beaches so you can harvest them in the future. We've closed these beaches every year since 1967 for that reason.

Razor clamming closes July 15 at 12:01 a.m. through 11:59 p.m. Sept. 30 on Clatsop beaches. These beaches cover 18 miles from Tillamook Head to the Columbia River.

During the closure, we do a razor clam assessment. This gives us a population estimate and size ranges of juveniles compared to adults.

Bay clamming is open statewide. Always call the Shellfish Safety Hotline at 1-800-448-2474 before you go to be sure there are no biotoxin closures.”

We hope you all enjoyed clamming as much as we and our octopuses did! Razor clam season north of Tillamook Head is now officially over.

Let the countdown begin! Razor clamming will be back open in 79 days, October 1st. That is as long as we don't have another buildup of domoic acid.

➤ Multnomah Falls is a waterfall located on Multnomah Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, Oregon, United States. The waterfall is accessible from the Historic Columbia River Highway and Interstate 84. Spanning two tiers on basalt cliffs, it is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon at 620 ft (189 m) in height. The Multnomah Creek Bridge, built in 1914, crosses below the falls, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Cannon Beach is having its Kong Kong moment. Let's hope the ending here turns out better!

Mountain Lion on Haystack Rock

***UPDATE - July 17*** Cannon Beach Police Department has confirmed that Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock are reopened to the public. It appears the mountain lion left the rock during the night. We remind folks to be vigilant, as it may still be in the area. We will provide additional updates later this morning.

***Original Post - July 16***
Around 6:30 AM this morning a mountain lion was seen on Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.

To protect the safety of visitors, the beach and access roads to the rock are closed until further notice. Oregon State Police, Oregon State Parks and City of Cannon Beach Police are on the scene managing the situation.

Haystack Rock is a designated wilderness area and protected as part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The rock provides nesting habitat for a diversity of nesting seabirds including Tufted Puffins.
