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
