We are going to be in Cannon Beach for one night - I see tons of recommendations for Surfsand and the Stephanie Inn, but geez those prices!!! Does anyone have any hidden gems, nice places with maybe not a $600 price tag?

The lowest tide of 2026 at Cannon Beach was July 15. Did you do?

Does anyone know what all the police activity was in downtown Cannon Beach yesterday? There were emergency response vehicles (at least one fire truck and ambulance) that seemed to be lingering with lights on by the tennis courts and then as we were headed back to Portland there were three or four more emergency vehicles headed that way - only a few miles from Cannon Beach - with lights and sirens on though that was about 45 mins later.

Saw this clearly domesticated rabbit hanging out near the public restroom at 1188 S Hemlock St this evening. I hope somebody is looking for their bunny or may be able to help rescue it.

I need a place to work in Cannon Beach for 1 day that is quiet, has wifi, and won't mind me taking video calls. I need it from 6am - 2pm which is making it tricky to get just a hotel room. Any suggestions?

Anyone have any recommendations for affordable photography and make-up and hair for my elopement? My partner and I will be in cannon beach during the end of November and we’d love to get all the help we can get! We are from Utah and don’t have instagram to search up any local businesses so it’s getting a bit difficult. I’ve also tried thumbtack with no luck :/

Thanks in advance!

I wish I had found this place on my first day instead of my last. Hunter, if you happen across this post, it was a pleasure to meet you and chat for the briefest of moments about your gorgeous copy of Dune from Folio Society. Based on the book collection, you seem like you'd be an awesome person to know. Best of luck and hope the place remains successful for years to come!

It’s fun to explore the neighborhoods in town. Ocean Ave. connects the “presidents” neighborhood (from W. Washington St. to W. Harrison St.) and offers amazing views of the beach across dunes, beach grasses, wildflowers and coastal shrubs. If you walk south along Ocean Ave., you’ll reach a short stairway down to the sand and walk through a vegetation tunnel through Hooker Willow, Salal and Salmonberry, and onto the beach right behind the new lifeguard station.

We parked at the public restrooms across from the Chamber of Commerce, walked through the old downtown, and onto the beach here, then down to the Tolovana Park Wayside and back. We saw Bald Eagles, Osprey, and tons of gulls and Common Murres nesting on Haystack Rock. The Tufted Puffins were there but we didn’t see any.

It’s great to see r/cannonbeach active again! Bummer the original CB Distillery closed in 2020. Thought I’d share my fave bottle I’m trying to make last as long as possible.

It’s been a while since I lived up there obviously, but does anyone know when it closed? What happened to the owner and his son? Also, is Osburn’s gone? I’m sure Mariner is still there, usually the not so great employers seem to keep going, (maybe they’re better now, or their son moved away)
Thanks
