Today was a beautiful 80 degree day that we spent exploring Seaside and Cannon Beach located 8 miles south of Seaside. Several of the people we talked to said to enjoy the weather as this was not normal for here. We started out diving to the Pacific Ocean located a couple of miles west from the RV park. We then parked near the beach down town and watched people going out to the beach. We walked the beach promenade and went into the Harbor seal aquarium were we saw the harbor seals and several small aquariums filled with specimens of local marine life. This is an old aquarium but very interesting. We then looked in some of the shops and ate lunch at a small cafe. In the afternoon we drove south on US101 about 8 miles to the town of Cannon Beach. After driving about 1 1/2 miles on a narrow winding road under the giant white spruce trees that covered the road like a tunnel we arrived at one of the most photographed areas on the Oregon coast at Ecola State Park. From here we could see the Tillamook lighthouse located between Seaside and Cannon Beach but inaccessible from land. We could see Haystack Rock located to the south at Cannon Beach and many other rock formations. Driving another 1 1/2 mile through the same kind of tree covered road we arrived at Indian Beach where we enjoyed watching the surfers and other beach goers.
