What to do

If you wind up in Cannon Beach bored silly, here are some of our favorite haunts and activities and such:


  • There's a pretty good beach. Head west. You can't miss it. Especially impressive for those of you from land-locked states.
  • Bill's Tavern...good place to get your bearings when you first roll into town. Repeat if necessary.
  • Driftwood Inn. Good place to get your bearings after your session at Bill's.
  • Sleepy Monk coffee. Good place to get your bearings the morning after you get your bearings at Bill's and the Driftwood.
  • Don't forget the 'Hardware Store' (wink wink, nudge nudge). Nuts, bolts, beer on tap. Whatever you do, don't order the ahi.
  • Ecola State Park. Lotsa hikes, beautiful beaches. Just north of town.
  • Oswald West State Park. More hikes and beaches, surfer blood, etc. A few minutes south.
  • Neahkahnie Mountain. Impossible word to spell. Hey listen, give me a break. Big hike. Great views if it's not socked in. South a bit.
  • Manzanita. Cute little town 10 or so miles south. Great burrito place.
  • Cannon Beach Books. For you literary types who forgot your e-reader in that pesky Skymall pocket on the plane.
  • Bruce's Candy Kitchen. 
If you get really bored, try these:
  • Fabric shop
  • Glass studio
  • Spa (facials, mud baths, scalding hot yoga (new!)
  • Kite shop
  • Chocolate shop
  • Several schmaltzy art galleries

Update!

As the date approaches, we grow increasingly excited to see you people!

In response to overwhelming demand (by that we mean we've received at least one question about these things):

Attire

This will be an outdoor wedding (weather... you like it or not).  Come comfortable; whatever that means to you.  If you like dressing up for weddings, do it.  If not, wear those jeans.  We simply don't care. Considerations for footwear: we'll be in the sand.  Our inclement weather plan is a work in progress.  Toss in your foul-weather gear just in case. 

Registry

As with everything else, untraditional is our style. Shut the front door.
