Tips from locals
A short mile to a surfers paradise! Watch the surfers, search for agates, hike through the trees! Jumping off place for longer trails, also.
About 10 minutes south of Cannon Beach, Oswald West State Park offers many miles of hiking trails from short to extended hikes, stunning viewpoints and an easy 1/2mi walk to lovely Short Sand Beach, popular for surfing. It's a very popular spot on weekends, so best to visit weekdays. Bring a picnic and do the short yet steep hike down to the beach to see the most popular beach for surfers of all skill levels.

Beautiful hikes to the beach. Great surfing or just watching. One of my favorite places.
