Musical Heritage

Haystack Rock — The Goonies' Sea Stack RoadyGoat

1985

Rising off Cannon Beach about a mile and a half south of downtown stands Haystack Rock, a 235-foot basalt monolith formed by lava flows roughly fifteen to seventeen million years ago. It's one of the most filmed landmarks on the Oregon coast. In 'The Goonies' (1985), the kids line up a doubloon with the rock's silhouette to find the path to One-Eyed Willy's treasure, and the truck-rally beach scenes were shot at its base. It also appears in 'Point Break' (1991) and 'Kindergarten Cop.' Today it's a protected marine garden and tufted-puffin nesting site, ringed by tidepools at low tide. (Note: it is not climbable, and rangers patrol the intertidal zone in season.)

The Goonies House RoadyGoat

1985

Perched on a hill at 368 38th Street in Astoria, Oregon, this 1896 Victorian is the home of Mikey and Brand Walsh in Richard Donner's 1985 cult classic 'The Goonies.' The exterior — the wraparound porch where the kids gathered and the attic where they found One-Eyed Willy's treasure map — was shot here, though the interiors were built on a soundstage. The house looks out over the Columbia River and the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the misty Pacific Northwest backdrop that gives the film its mood. It became such a magnet for fans shouting the movie's 'Hey, you guuuys!' that past owners sometimes closed the driveway. A lifelong Goonies fan bought the home in 2022 for around $1.65 million. It's a private residence, so admire it from the street below.
