Cannon Beach, Oregon
Needles and a haystack
At low tide, seabird and human alike tread the soggy sands that sprawl in the shadow of Haystack Rock. Whether you're a beachcomber seeking seashells or a gull scavenging stranded crabs, this 70-metre Oregon Coast landmark (and the surrounding sea stacks, known as the "needles") is a spectacular site. Even Hollywood agrees; Haystack Rock made for a memorable backdrop in the coming-of-age classic "The Goonies."
Could these seagulls be seeking One-Eyed Willy's buried treasure?
