Travelers to Cannon Beach are drawn in by the beauty and quaintness of this small Oregonian town. It is most notably marked by the distinctive Haystack Rock and Needles – a gorgeous 235-foot sea stack jetting out of the sand at low tide. Vacation rentals here range from cozy cottages and wood cabins to oceanfront homes and breezy beach rentals. Ideal for a family trip or romantic getaway, Cannon Beach combines untamed beauty of the Pacific Northwest with the attractions and amenities of a top-notch beach town.

There’s something for everyone here in Cannon Beach, from water sports and outdoor recreation to wildlife exploration and sightseeing. The town is small enough that no vacation rental is too far from the family-friendly activities. Beach rentals are steps away from surf camps, sand-sculpting classes, paragliding and even helicopter rides! Rent a bicycle or three-wheeler from Mike’s Bike Shop for easy navigation and transportation around town. Go horseback riding on the beach with Sea Ranch Stables for a unique once-in-a-lifetime experience. Spend the day bird-watching on the hills or boarding a romantic whale-watching cruise during sunset.

Vacation rentals downtown place you in the heart of Cannon Beach’s cultural hub. But rest assured this is no tourist trap - strict regulations are in place limiting the infiltration of large chain stores and restaurants, allowing Cannon Beach to keep its small town charm.

Beach rentals and vacation homes in Cannon Beach are surrounded by exciting arts and entertainment. There’s a renowned sandcastle-building contest in June, and festivals such as “Spring Unveiling” and the “Stormy Weather Arts Festival”, both showcasing local creative works. Vacation rentals here may seem like something out of a movie – and that’s because they are! Cannon Beach’s scenic beauty has been featured in famous films such as The Goonies, Point Break and Twilight. Heck, Haystack Rock is one of the featured default desktop images included with all Windows computers!
