Headland South of Hug Point, near Cannon Beach

Just south of the entrance to Hug Point, another headland lurks, which the tide forbids access to some 70 percent of the time. However, when you're able to cross, you'll find a couple miles of unobstructed beach until you reach Arch Cape, as well as a couple more sea caves and some really curious structures of basalt and other rock types.

Even more of this area is at the beginning of the Hug Point Virtual Tour, about Geologic Oddities. Note the different sand levels in these photographs.
