Situated on the North Oregon Coast just over 80 miles west of Portland, Cannon Beach is one of the true jewels of the Pacific Northwest. Cannon Beach has long been know as a resort destination for vacationers, and a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The town population is around 1,600 and anual visitorship has been around 400,000 and growing each year.

Cannon Beach is just four miles in length, with an overall area of just about 1.5 sq-miles. At the center of the beach you will not be able to miss Haystack Rock, the third largest natural monolith in the world (pictured below). Because of the compactness of Cannon Beach and proximity to Portland, its village like charm, and its incredible natural beauty, real estate values have shown extremely strong growth over the years.

The "Lumberyard" is situated on the site of you guessed it, the original Cannon Beach lumberyard. Good food, a nice bar, and a child-friendly atmosphere make this worth a stop.

Cannon Beach has been known for years as a community of artists. Commercialization is diluting this "vibe" a bit, but the Cannon Beach arts association highlights some of our finest! Be sure to visit the Bald Eagle next door for great coffee and treats! Bills Tavern at the center of town - home-brew anyone?

The Coaster Theater - check their schedule and be sure to make time to take in a live show!

Just across the way are the Lazy Susan Cafe (divine!) and the Wine Shack. Both are worth taking the time to visit. The Wine Shack has a nice selection of wine and often hold tastings upstairs.
