Cannon Beach is an amazing little town with lots of unique features that make it a one-of-a-kind stop along the Oregon Coast. I recommend the Cannon Beach Spa, Ecola State Park and of course, Haystack Rock. Stop to see the bunnies on the North end of town while you are here. Please also consider listing Seaside, OR. Again another unique coastal town that is super family friendly with lots of fun activities.

San Francisco > Presidio
The Presidio of San Francisco is a park on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula in San Francisco, California, within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It has been a fortified location since 1776 when the Spanish made it the military center of their expansion in the area. It passed to Mexico, which in turn passed it to the United States in 1848. As part of a military reduction program, Congress voted in 1989 to end the Presidio's status as an active military installation and on October 1, 1994, it was transferred to the National Park Service, ending 219 years of military use and beginning its next phase of mixed commercial and public use. In 1996, the United States Congress created the Presidio Trust to oversee and manage the interior 80% of the park's lands, with the National Park Service managing the coastal 20%.
The park is characterized by many wooded areas, hills, and scenic vistas overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. It was recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1962.
