There is upscale shopping at plazas along manicured streets. Visit in June to compete in the yearly sand castle building contest.
Tips
When to Go:
During low tide, check out the tide pools around Haystack Rock, which juts dramatically from the coastline some 235 feet. The tide pools are filled with interesting sea creatures. But beware slippery rocks, and leave the tide pools as you found them.
The Extras:
On your way to Cannon Beach, make sure to stop at the world's tallest Sitka spruce tree (216 feet high, 52 feet in circumference), located just off Highway 26.
