About Cannon Beach
Walk this sandy stretch of beach crowned by iconic Haystack Rock and you’ll easily see why it was called one of the 100 Most Beautiful Places in the World by National Geographic.

Known as one of the top art towns in America, this walkable community is dotted with art galleries, shopping boutiques, fine restaurants and premier hotels all within short walking distance of the beach.
