"Best city on the Northern Oregon Coast" Cannon Beach by Shaft28

Cannon Beach Travel Guide: 87 reviews and 237 photos

This is where you start a trip down the coast of Oregon. A beautiful little town filled with shops, galleries, places to stay, fudge shops and more. All this and near by Haystack rock which is one of the largest monoliths (sp?) on the US coastline.
The bulk of your tour down 1/4 of Oregons coast (Seaside to Tillimook) will be spent here.

Pros and Cons

Pros:beautiful, cool town, the Lazy Susan Restaraunt
Cons:hard to get to the big rock
In a nutshell:Like a small Carmel, CA but cooler and in Oregon.
