Holiday homes in Cannon Beach

Towering 235 feet above the shoreline, Haystack Rock serves as nature's exclamation point on one of America's most beautiful beaches. Arrive at low tide to explore the rock's teeming tide pools, where starfish and anemones create living art. The expansive sandy beach invites kite-flying and contemplative walks, while nearby Ecola State Park offers forest trails with dramatic coastal views. Duck into the town's art galleries between beach sessions – this place has inspired painters for generations. Tolovana Beach State Park provides a slightly less crowded alternative when the main beach fills with admirers. After sunset, gather around a beach bonfire (permits available) and watch stars compete with the distant lights of passing ships.
