Cannon Beach is one of those magical coastal towns that feels like stepping into a postcard. Yeah…read moreit looks exactly like the postcard. From the moment I arrived, I knew this was the spot to have bonfires. The beach itself is wide and inviting, and Haystack Rock towers out of the ocean just off the shore, a stunning icon that draws everyone's eye. But it's not just the shoreline that makes Cannon Beach special. You can walk along the neighborhoods and enjoy the cute little shops. Downtown is small but charming. I loved walking through the artsy streets filled with galleries, specialty shops, and cozy cafés. I was able to slow down away from city life, shop for a handmade memento, and sit with a latte watching the waves. On a breezy afternoon, I saw people flying their kites and took advantage of the open beach breeze, so fun to watch. If you want a beautifully scenic beach getaway that's both peaceful and inspiring, Cannon Beach is absolutely worth a stop.

With being the location for the popular Haystack Rock, you'd think this beach would be so crowded,…read morebut it is pleasantly not. On top of that, Canon Beach is so easily accessible. There are tons of access points to the beach, but the easiest is to park in the Haystack Public Parking lot and walk across the street, past the public bathrooms and homes, and you're immediately in front of Haystack Rock. Besides Haystack Rock, Canon Beach itself was kinda boring to me though. The long stretch was rockless and smooth, just sand and ocean horizon. My preference is to see more boulders and rocks to keep things interesting. This beach is excellent for runners, though, because of the smooth sand and long stretch. There were a lot of people clustered around Haystack Rock, but less dense further on. If you're looking for seashells, there are none. The sand is super smooth all the way. It is a nice beach but not too many people hang out here, which is great if you're local. For the most part, we saw people come to see the Rock and then leave.

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to the grandest attraction on the coast the legendary Seaside…read morePromenade in dazzling Seaside! Built in 1920 and unveiled to the cheering crowds on August 7, 1921, this 1.5-mile concrete thrill ride replaced the old wooden boardwalk like a brand-new roller coaster replacing a rickety carnival track. For the jaw-dropping sum of $150,000 overseen by city engineer L.C. Rogers they poured what might be the smoothest "ride" on the entire Oregon Coast. No tickets required. No height restrictions. Just lace up and go. From Avenue U to 12th Avenue, it's a straight-shot midway of ocean views, charming hotels, storybook cottages, and that massive cove of beach stretched out like the main stage. You don't just walk it you parade it. Rain misting your face? That's the splash zone. Wind whipping sideways? That's the special effects machine working overtime. And somehow, tucked back just enough from the surf, it stays the perfect ride year-round. Summer turns it into bumper cars bikes, strollers, dogs, families, laughter everywhere. It's shoulder-to-shoulder energy like the midway on opening night. But winter? That's VIP access. Wide open lanes. Moody skies. Waves crashing like applause just for you. You feel like you rented out the whole park. No flashing lights needed. No roller coasters required. This is the main attraction. Five stars, hands in the air, screaming all the way down the track.

We went there early on a Saturday and didn't have trouble finding parking, and we also used in the restroom facilities, which I do NOT recommend (bad awful stench). It does provide beach access, (which is what we were there for), for both pedestrians and cars, so it was incredibly disappointing and unpleasant having to deal with bumper to bumper traffic while walking along the beach. The beach itself offers gorgeous views of the ocean, seaside mountains, and rock formations along the water.
