Ecola PointScenic Overlook8.4 mi from Gearhart▾
In January 1806, Captain William Clark and a dozen members of the Corps of Discovery — including Sacagawea — hiked south from Fort Clatsop to see a beached whale reported by local Tillamook people, naming the nearby creek "Ecola," the Chinook word for whale, a name the park still carries today.
Chapman BeachBeach9.2 mi from Gearhart▾
A quieter stretch of shoreline just north of Cannon Beach, Oregon, running between Chapman Point and Silver Point. Reachable by crossing Ecola Creek near Les Shirley Park, it's known for tide pools, seabird colonies at nearby Bird Rocks, and far fewer crowds than the main Cannon Beach strand.
Daniel Knight Warren HouseHistoric Site9.4 mi from Gearhart▾
Built in 1885 for $8,000 by the pioneer who platted the town of Warrenton in 1891 and built its first schoolhouse, this Late Victorian house overlooks the Skipanon River's entrance and Young's Bay toward Astoria.
Arcadia BeachBeach13.5 mi from Gearhart▾
A state recreation site on the Oregon coast two miles south of Cannon Beach, with a mile-long stretch of sand between two headlands, Humbug Point to the north and Hug Point to the south. Visitors come for beachcombing and tide pooling, and under the right conditions the beach's fine sand produces a squeaking "singing sands" sound underfoot.
