The Oregon coast fills with tourists during summer months, and it’s a great destination on a hot, summer day, but our biggest secret is that our beautiful beaches are also well worth a visit during the rest of the year. Here’s a beach that transforms with the seasons — and you’re about to get a glimpse of it you might not have seen before.
There's no better way to spend a day than at Cannon Beach.
Summer strolls in the morning are heavenly. Grab a cup of coffee, take off your shoes, and head down to the beach. Feel the sand between your toes and watch the gentle ocean waves roll in.
The annual Sand Castle Festival has been a Cannon Beach tradition for more than 50 years. Held every June, it draws professional sculptors and thousands of spectators.
Spring storms bring big waves that spit out all kinds of interesting items — some of which have come from as far away as Japan! Beachcombing is a popular activity at the beach after a big storm — see what you can find!
Do you prefer to visit Oregon’s coast during summer when the kids are out of school, or during the off-season when the beaches are less crowded and the storms roll in to give you a spectacular show of powerful waves and high tides?
