View north to Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach, OR
Just some clowns we saw on the beach, hehe.

The first person to guess what these are gets a FQ!
The first time in my life I've been to a public beach where people take off their shoes and leave them 'at the door'. Including several brand new pairs of TOMs! What?
Here's B and I walking on Cannon Beach (photo by D)
Everyone was super welcoming and friendly, especially Violet and Monica who both took a very long morning coffee break with me which was so lovely! I absolutely can't wait to return!
Just because we could

Marshmallow shooters?!
What a beautiful area!
The shoes at the door... We noticed it too. And I did the same thing. I think it is because the sand is so soft and the water is so beautiful that I was just compelled to remove my shoes and run towards the water. It's also very difficult to walk in the sand with shoes. :-)
duh, they're quilt hangers--isn't everything? Or is that just my exercise equipment?
I think those thingees are helium balloon blow-er-uppers? Beautiful pictures, beautiful vacation spot!
paintball guns?
What beautiful photos!!!! It loooks like a great trip. Are they colorful stilts???
?Bicycles?? What beautiful photos. It looks breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Marshmallow shooters . . . darn, someone beat me to it. Beautiful photos of a beautiful place.
Ooooh, I've been there but I don't remember those thingies!
Looks gorgeous! We have ideas to maybe go there next summer.
Just reading the comments...marshmallow shooters? What the heck? Must look that up!
What MARSHMALLOW Shooters? I was going to guess something to do with Kites...we are after all on the Oregon Coast! Sure glad we EAT our marshmallows...after they've been toasted!! Once again...gorgeous photos!

What a nice vacation. We took our grandson there last month too. We had lots of beach time with our home base at Cannon Beach. Hug Point, Indian Beach and drives to anywhere the car would stop. Lots of memories for us and one you will enjoy looking back on too! Great fun. It is amazing what they will leave on the beach!
Gorgeous photos, Krista! You really have an eye for composition. Looks like you had a great vacation!
Before I even read below the picture I knew these were marshmallow shooters, my younger brother tortured me with one!
This vacation looks like it was lovely.
Looks like a fab place to visit. I'm also off to google a marshmallow shooter now... (which incidentally sounds like it ought to be a drink ;o) )
You div - naming your photos BEFORE asking!!
Looks like a beautiful trip; v. jealous x
Great photos! I have been to Cannon Beach loads of times, but I have never seen the Marshmallow shooters. I must not be hanging out with the right crowd. ;)
Your vacation looks dreamy! I cheated and hovered over the photo to see it was named "marshmallow shooters"! Naughty me. Good think I wasn't the first, or I'd feel guilty!
It all looks and sounds so blissful! Beautiful pictures x
Ah, I was going to guess marshmallow shooters too! These are pretty fancy. Ours are just plain white...how sad.
Your pictures are beautiful!!
We were there too from Aug 18-25. We were camping with our trailer in Seaside, we were at Oswald beach so the kids could surf and Canon Beach just cause it's beautiful. Beautiful photos. I think those are pogo sticks on that colorful photo.
I thought scooters but what the heck is a marshmallow shooter?!!! Why?!!! Americans are crazy... Lovely photos!
that photo reminds me of tie-dye versions of 'the club', the anti-car theft thing that was advertised on tv a gazillion years ago :)
Haha, I knew they were marshmallow shooters the second I saw your pic! And yes, we are crazy awesome American's who build guns to shoot sugar puffs out of the leftover sprinkler pipes. Ha!
These pics are gorgeous Krista, absolutley stunning. Makes me want to drop everything and go to Manzanita RIGHT NOW!
I have no idea what a marshmallow shooter is (the quality control dude who stands by the conveyor belt in the factory pulling out the non-conforming sweets?), but they sound interesting.
The photos are beautiful Krista - you need to increase their size on your blog so we can enjoy more.
That is a beautiful beach and it looks like you had a lovely time.
Funky metal detectors ?
The beach looks so gorgeous.
I have no idea what they are, but this is an idea for funky crutches!
Thanks for the glimpse of seaside life now that fall just has hit us,)
Lovely photos of a lovely family in a lovely location - LOVELY
Who Knew there was such a thing as a marshmallow shooter!!
We made marshmallow shooters during summer school...cheap fun!
Hah! Look like shoe racks to me! Beautiful vacation pics!
Looks like a wonderful place to be! I'm afraid I didn't know they were marshmallow shooters...I need to get out more often!
My son used to live in Manzanita and we would stop there when on the road RVing. Nehelem State Park is right there - fabulous place - even has facilities for traveling with horses and access to the beach. Oregon has the most beautiful state parks of any of the states we visited.
