Tolovana Beach, located at the south end of Cannon Beach, Oregon, is a scenic destination known for its sandy shores and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. It offers easy access to the iconic Haystack Rock, a 235-foot basalt sea stack that is home to tidepool creatures and nesting seabirds. The beach is perfect for activities like beachcombing, surfing, and kite surfing. Visitors can also enjoy the nearby town of Cannon Beach, which features boutiques and local eateries. A unique aspect of Tolovana Beach is its large population of rabbits, which have become a local attraction. The area is managed by Oregon State Parks and provides amenities such as restrooms and picnic tables.

Tolovana Beach State Recreation Site is a day-use only park, offering a playground and ample parking. It is a popular spot due to its proximity to Portland and the variety of activities available. The beach stretches for about two miles and offers a leisurely stroll along the sandy shore. At low tide, visitors can explore tidepools and observe wildlife such as black oystercatchers and puffins.

The surrounding area is rich in history, with the Warren family having mapped and surveyed much of Tolovana Park. The name 'Tolovana' means 'river of sticks,' reflecting the area's connection to Native American named rivers of Alaska.
