The lighthouse that is featured to the far left of the doubloon is Tillamook Rock Lighthouse (a.k.a. Terrible Tilly). The rock in the middle of the doubloon appears to have been blue-screened in. The far right hole is the Lighthouse Lounge.

There are several scenes that were filmed on Cannon Beach for the classic 1985 adventure movie The Goonies.

During the intro credits, the Fratellis escape the police by switching to "ORV" (off-road vehicle) and joining the race on the beach.

Cannon Beach is also where the Goonies emerge from One-Eyed Willie's treasure cave, are reunited with their families, and save the Goondocks.

Interestingly, Haystack Rock (located off of Cannon Beach) is 235 feet tall and is considered the third largest monolith in the world.

This Goonies film location is where the exterior Lighthouse Lounge scenes were shot. Filmed in Ecola State Park, which is 2 miles north of Cannon Beach, the Lighthouse Lounge is where the Goonies meet the Fratellis, get locked in the basement, and escape through the tunnel.

The restaurant exterior was built by the film crew around an existing park shelter.
