Cannon Beach is one of Oregon’s most iconic coastal destinations, defined by its dramatic shoreline, boutique village center, and the unmistakable silhouette of Haystack Rock rising from the surf. Long favored by artists, collectors, and second home buyers, the town blends natural beauty with upscale dining, galleries, and a walkable charm that feels polished yet relaxed.
