Long a favorite vacation spot for Seattle and Portland this special town fashions itself as the Carmel of Oregon. With firm zoning and restrictive tree-cutting regulations, Cannon Beach has earned its distinction of Tree City, USA.

With a thriving arts community, days can be spent touring the various art galleries and unique shops if you can pull yourself off the beautiful, wide, long sandy beach.

Spectacular Haystack Rock, the world’s third largest monolith, sits just offshore and is home to fascinating tide pools and rare and interesting waterfowl and other wildlife.

Cannon Beach offers a variety of housing options from cottages and condominiums to oceanfront and hillside ocean view estates. The discriminating buyer can still find the undiscovered pearl in this, one of Oregon’s favorite vacation spots.
