The Octopus Tree is a unique and iconic tree located in Cannon Beach, Oregon. It is a Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) known for its unusual growth pattern, where its branches extend outward and downward, resembling the tentacles of an octopus. This distinctive shape is a result of the tree's exposure to strong coastal winds and salt spray. Standing at approximately 100 feet tall, the Octopus Tree is estimated to be over 200 years old. It is a popular attraction for visitors to Ecola State Park, where people come to admire its impressive form and take photographs. The tree's unusual appearance makes it a notable example of nature's adaptability.
