And it was this moment, where I could almost feel the movie come alive. Now a pavilion with tables sits in its place. There are several hiking trails in the park. We ended up just roaming along the coastal pathways and taking in the view. If the trails look familiar, you guessed it. The Goonies also shot many of the wooded scenes around this park. We could see why so many films and TV programs are shot around here. Driving through the woods in Ecola State Park. So what was filmed at Cannon Beach?
The opening sequence where a car race took place right on the beach. It always felt like this scene had nothing to do with the rest of the movie. But hey, it was an action-packed way to start a movie, right? We found ample parking along the Oregon Coast Highway We carefully crossed Highway , where a staircase takes you directly down to the beach near the lifeguard stand. Be sure to bring some layers. Even in the thick of summer, it was a little chilly.
We laughed out loud since we passed people wearing swim suits, then another group wearing winter jackets and beanies. I guess we all have our own definitions of chilly.
Coming up from LA, we thought it was cold! We had a packed day, and just felt like lounging on the couch and watching a movie. One guess on what we streamed that night on Amazon Prime? I mean, how could we not watch The Goonies after this jam-packed day?
And we have to tell you, it was even more special and entertaining after walking through the real-life movie set. Looking for other ideas while visiting Portland? Be sure to check out our 1 day guide to Portland.

Downtown Astoria, Oregon. Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. Subscribe now to get the latest updates in your inbox! The field where Andy leads a cheerleading squad in the opening credits—thus establishing her s top-of-the-pecking-order status—had been home to the Astoria High Fishermen since , ground for the Fishermen's epic rivalry against the cross-town Knappa Loggers. As part of a deal that Astoria football coach Howard Rub hailed as a "tremendous partnership," the city built the Fishermen a new artificial-turf field as a cap for an old landfill.
Ecola State Park and Haystack Rock. Some of the Goonies' most iconic images—Brand's girlie-bike ride down the forested hills of Ecola State Park, the rough-and-tumble Lighthouse Lounge gang hideout, and the mighty Haystack Rock—all come from Cannon Beach, an hour south of Astoria.
The Lighthouse Lounge was constructed only for the movie, and torn down thereafter; a picnic shelter stands on the grass near its former site, as a pale echo. At Haystack Rock, meanwhile, tragedy is striking. The starfish in its famed tide pools have been dying of a mysterious disease, dissolving to white mush.
Almost 90 percent are gone since last year, giving Haystack the faint aspect of a gravestone. But it is still beautiful at twilight, and tourist shops nearby sell Goonies -themed medallions whose holes you can line up at sunset with the "needles," the name given to the many smaller rocks that stutter along Haystack's edge.
The worst thing Chunk ever did: "I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa! And then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience.
And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
This could have only happened here, in this year-old balconied theater with an adjunct live-music lounge called the Voodoo. Mine involved mushrooms, sausage, bok choy, walnut pesto, much egg, much spice and no carbs whatsoever. Beer Canneries of Astoria. Rogue Ales Public House, 39th St. Pier 39 , , rogue. When filming began on The Goonies in , Astoria's fishing economy was in crisis—and houses were indeed getting sold back to the banks. The old canneries, including the founded Bumble Bee cannery, were closing, and food stamps had become such a currency they were reportedly accepted as beer money at Astoria's Portway Tavern on West Marine Drive.
The last tuna cannery in Astoria is Josephson's Smokehouse, which smokes and cans albacore as a craft product, in the back of their storefront. But the biggest industry in Astoria now is not fishing but tourism, and so alongside a seemingly abandoned cannery museum, the Bumble Bee cannery has found new life as a huge, bustling Rogue Ales Public House serving up Astoria-exclusive sour and barrel-aged beers.
The cannery at Cannery Pier is now home to Buoy Beer, which already hosts a tap at seemingly every bar in Astoria. But by far the biggest cannery in Astoria is Fort George Brewery, now the 12th-largest craft brewer in Oregon. Pro tip: If you don't plan to eat, skip the spacious brewpub in favor of the much more capacious beer list at Fort George's tiny brewery tasting room.
Labor Temple, Duane St. By the time you leave, you'll know everyone in the bar. Labor Temple, a bar and diner located in an old union hall, is no longer a union shop as of four years ago—although it is apparently a popular target of local labor organizers. The diner recently stopped its tradition of midnight breakfast served till 2 pm because it attracted town drunks to the bar. I probably 86'd half the people in town. One side of the building is a tribute to The Goonies.
It includes the jail cell where the Fratelli brother Jake was held. The other half of the building places you into movies. Watch your scenes in the screening room near the front entrance. Email your video files to you, too. I read a lot of articles about seeing the Walsh house during our visit. Many said there are no trespassing signs. Others said the owners have been known to call the police. I concluded that we would photograph the house from a distance. However, other people were standing near the house talking to the nice woman who owned it.
We walked up the drive at Duane and 37th Street and joined in the conversation. She was very nice, and seemed to really enjoy talking with the visitors. There were only a few of us there at that time people in total.
At one point she invited us into her yard to show off some of her flowers.
