Frequently Asked Questions
People Also Ask
Q:Is Cannon Beach worth visiting?
A:Yes, Cannon Beach is definitely worth visiting. The dramatic rock formations on the beach–including the famous Haystack Rock–are very photogenic and interesting to look at when you’re taking a beach walk. The town of Cannon Beach has excellent restaurants and boutiques, and the nearby Ecola State Park is a fun hiking destination.
Q:How many days should I spend at Cannon Beach?
A:Most travelers will be happy spending one or two days in Cannon Beach, but a third day is worthwhile if you’d like to hike in the coastal Ecola State Park nearby. As it’s a 90-minute drive from Portland, Cannon Beach is ideal for a relaxing weekend break from the city.
Q:Which is better, out of Seaside or Cannon Beach?
A:Both Seaside and Cannon Beach are worth visiting, and which you prefer depends on your interests. Seaside is much larger than Cannon Beach (although it’s still relatively small, with a population of around 7,200), so Cannon Beach is more peaceful and laid back. Seaside is especially renowned for its surfing, and Cannon Beach is famous for its dramatic rock formations.
Q:What time of year is best to visit Cannon Beach?
A:Summer (June–August) is an ideal time to visit Cannon Beach if you want to spend time outdoors as the weather is generally warm–there’s even a sandcastle competition in June. However, there’s no reason to avoid visiting in winter. Cannon Beach is a popular winter storm and whale watching destination, which is best in winter and early spring.
Q:Can you see whales at Cannon Beach?
A:Yes, you can often see whales from Cannon Beach. Around 18,000 gray whales pass by twice yearly on their migration between Alaska and Baja California. Mid-March to mid-April and mid-December to mid-January are the best times to see the whales. Oregon State Parks volunteers help visitors spot the whales at peak times.
Q:Can you swim at Cannon Beach?
A:Yes, you can swim in the sea at Cannon Beach, but note a few essential safety tips. The currents can be substantial (rip currents are common), and rogue logs can pose a hazard to swimmers. Also, the sea here can be very cold. Wearing a wetsuit is advisable, even in summer.
