Haystack Rock and a Sea Garden

The "greenery" in front of Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach is called a sea garden. It's full of all sorts of creatures that I can't identify, along with ones I can - like starfish and mussels. Volunteers bring out education boards and put up sandwich boards letting people know what areas they should avoid walking on so creatures aren't damaged.

Hello Starfish

This little stray starfish was peeking out of a tidepool in front of Haystack Rock. When the tide is out, there are hundreds of starfish tucked against the rocks at their base. Rainy and cool here on the OR coast, and it feels refreshing.
