— a note from the studio

“From the Ecola Point overlook the coastline runs south in a long curve: Indian Beach below, the village of Cannon Beach a mile down, and Haystack Rock standing offshore at 235 feet. Sitka spruce frame the view. The wind off the Pacific moves through them whether the sun is out or not. Most days the rock is silhouetted; on the clear ones, the village reads white against the sand. — from the studio

— about Cannon Beach village from Ecola

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.

— the place

Ecola State Park sits on Tillamook Head, the headland that closes the north end of the Cannon Beach coastline in Clatsop County, Oregon. The park's southern viewpoint, Ecola Point, looks down a long sand crescent to the village of Cannon Beach and, just offshore, Haystack Rock, a sea stack rising 235 feet from the tideline. The park covers roughly nine miles of coast, includes Indian Beach, and is managed by Oregon Parks and Recreation. Lewis and Clark's party crossed Tillamook Head from the north in January 1806.

— informed by Oregon Parks — Ecola, Wikipedia — Haystack Rock

— the stone

Haystack Rock is a sea stack of basalt, the eroded remnant of a lava flow from the Columbia River Basalt Group that reached the coast roughly fifteen million years ago. At low tide, tidepools at its base hold ochre sea stars, anemones, and chitons; the rock itself is a designated Marine Garden and a nesting site for tufted puffins from spring into early summer. Two smaller stacks, called the Needles, stand just south of it. The colour shifts through the day from black silhouette at dawn to a warm grey at noon.

— informed by Haystack Rock Awareness Program

— the visit

The Ecola Point overlook is reached by a paved road in from Highway 101 at the north end of Cannon Beach. A day-use fee applies; an Oregon State Parks annual pass also covers it. Indian Beach, a mile farther in, is the surf beach and a starting point for the Clatsop Loop Trail, a 2.5-mile loop up Tillamook Head. Storms close the access road periodically through winter. Cannon Beach village itself sits a short drive south on Highway 101 and is walkable end to end in under an hour.

A few questions we get about Cannon Beach village from Ecola — and about bringing the piece home.

— about the place

It looks south from Ecola Point in Ecola State Park, on Tillamook Head at the north end of Cannon Beach, Clatsop County, Oregon, reached by a paved road in from Highway 101.

Haystack Rock rises 235 feet from the tideline, the third-tallest sea stack on the Oregon coast. It is basalt, the eroded remnant of a Columbia River Basalt flow that reached the coast about fifteen million years ago.

Yes. Tufted puffins nest on the rock from roughly April through July. The Haystack Rock Awareness Program staffs the tideline through low-tide windows in season and runs spotting scopes for visitors.

Yes. A day-use fee applies at the park entrance. An Oregon State Parks annual pass covers it. The viewpoint, picnic areas, and trails are all included in the same fee.

Late afternoon, when the sun moves west of the headland and Haystack Rock reads as silhouette over the village. Clear winter days carry the longest shadows and the cleanest line.

Yes. Lewis and Clark's party crossed Tillamook Head from the north in January 1806, descending to the coast near present-day Cannon Beach to inspect a beached whale. The Clatsop Loop Trail traces part of the route.

— about the piece in your home

Yes. Cannon Beach is one of the most loved villages on the Oregon coast, and the view from Ecola is the one locals send to family. A Medium or Large with a handwritten note carries the place well.

The grey-blue Pacific palette and spruce green sit naturally with Coastal-modern, Pacific Northwest modern, and Mountain-meets-coast interiors built around wood and matte black.

Yes. Coastal-modern rooms lean on cool blues, warm sand, and weathered grey, and a Pacific headland view is the cooler counterweight to the Atlantic-and-tropical pieces most coastal rooms already carry.

Above a standard sofa, a single Large reads as the focal piece. For a wider wall, a four-tile Mural carries the long coastline. A nine-tile Mural anchors a dining wall.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for any wet or splash-prone room. A coastal view reads especially well in a bathroom; both finishes are scratch-resistant.

A dry microfibre cloth lifts dust. For fingerprints or splashes, a damp microfibre with plain water is enough. The colour lives in the ceramic surface, not on top of it.

Yes. Every Wender Studios piece is original to our family studio in Knoxville. We do not license artwork and we do not resell other studios' work.
