24 Hours in Cannon Beach, Oregon: Where to eat, hike and explore 

I've lived in Cannon Beach for 3 years. I am very blessed to live here because I am not a super wealthy person. I love Cannon Beach because it is very safe, I don't even lock my bike up. I love the smell of the fresh salty air, and the beautiful scenic atmosphere. Cannon Beach is a good place for introverts, very quiet, safe, relaxing, and beautiful.

Such a magical place. Reminds me why I do what I do...... Protect beaches

I live and work at the Cannon Beach Conference Center. I've lived here for almost a year now and I can't recommend visiting Cannon Beach enough. It's an absolutely magical place, this video could hardly scrape the surface of all there is to see, eat, and do here (and that's not anything against it, there's just SO much to do here). Great video for a great place!

Found this video about a month back when planning our Oregon coast vacation. Today we made it to canon beach and had the wings at the place you recommended half salt and pepper and half Buffalo. They did not disappoint at all. They were so good. Then headed over to Ecola to hike to crescent beach. That was a good hike and well worth the trek for the views. Thanks for doing what you’re doing because it made our day perfect!

I'm an Aussie. I would love to visit this place, also because I am a Goonie from way back.

Hello man, excellent video it has very good info about Cannon Beach! I have a question, is the water comfortable enouugh to swim in summer or is too cold? I'm from Argentina and here people only talk about florida and california, but i really want to go up north. Thanks!

Live in Portland area was at Cannon Beach with friends 7/2019-great weather that day. a bonus for your car -mo/s restaurant plenty of space in public lot

I love Cannon Beach. An hour away and it’s like heaven.

I love the coast of Oregon , so beautiful 😍

Living only 2 hours from Cannon Beach it's mine and my husbands favorite beach town! Haystack is one of the most beautiful sights

I practically grew up in Cannon Beach. My grandparents own a home there. They used to live there full time, but now they rent it out to vacationers, and they'll go stay there whenever they feel like it. From when I was 7 to about 18, my dad, step mom, two brothers, grandparents, and I, would stay there EVERY summer, all summer long, and we'd go there for nearly every Christmas. My dad, step mom, and brothers actually lived across the street from my grandparents, in a little 2 bedroom house for a couple years, that my grandparents owned for a long time. So in order to see my dad, I'd have to go down there ALL the time, when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Cannon Beach, is my all time favorite place in the world. Compared to my home town, where I still live, it's like heaven. There's TONS of crime in my home town, and pure violence, almost every where you go. Cannon Beach is the exact opposite. It's quiet, the people are nice, and friendly, the air is clean. The ONLY bad experience I've had with Cannon Beach, is when I was like 15 or 16, when my step brother who was about 14 at the time, my half brother, who was about 10 or 11, and I, had walked down to the beach, just the 3 of us, and my step brother, and I, decided to go for a swim in the ocean. Apparently, there's white poles all along the beach, and if there's a red flag on them, that means there are rip currents, and it's not safe to swim. We didn't KNOW that. We were up to our waists at first, but then, after not much time had gone by, we realized the water was up to our necks, and the shore had gotten further away, and our little brother, who was playing on the shore, appeared a lot smaller to us. We both looked at one another, and said "uh oh" I said to him "let's go" and we started swimming as hard as we could. After a few minutes, the shore didn't look like it was getting closer, it looked like it was getting FURTHER. That's when I knew we were in trouble. I looked to my right, and my step brother was not next to me anymore. All of a sudden, I hear him SCREAMING my name, and I looked back, and he was MAYBE 20 feet behind me, with a look of sheer horror on his face. "HELP ME!!!" he said. But the problem was, I was a slim kid, and he was a more heavy kid. I knew, there was absolutely NO way, I could carry him on my back, and swim against the EXTREMELY strong rip currents, and bring us both in safely. Plus, I knew he was panicking, and might drown me, while trying to use me as a flotation device. So I screamed to him, that I'd get help, and told myself, that maybe if I swim underwater as deep as I could, MAYBE I'd get under the current. So that's what I did. I kept going down, and swam under as long as I could hold my breath, and came back up for air, and going back down, over, and over. It was extremely exhausting. It took me a good 5 minutes or more to get to shore, and by the time I got there, I could barely walk or catch my breath. I ran up to my little brother who was still playing on shore, and with every breath I had in me, tried to tell him to get help. He didn't understand what I meant, and I looked out to sea, and when I went to point, and tell him my step brother was stuck out there, you could see WAY out there just the top of my step brothers head in the water. My little brother started screaming, and crying, trying to get someone to help. Someone called 911, and a few minutes later, the lifeguards truck, and ambulance were going in the wrong direction. The guy on the phone with 911, kept screaming over the phone "WRONG WAY, WRONG WAY!!" Then out of NOWHERE, this young guy, bolts out to the water, and swam like Michael Phelps, and was able to save my step brother's life. I'll NEVER forget that day, and will NEVER swim in that water again. My step brother ended up telling my step mom, that I left him for dead, and only saved myself. My step mom was angry with me for a long time. My dad stuck up for me, and told her, that had I gone back for my step brother, we'd both be dead. Which is 100% true. He also told her that I actually saved my step brother's life, by being able to get myself to shore, and getting help. I never thought of myself as saving his life. The young guy, who risked his life to swim out to sea, and bring my step brother in, saved his life, not me. They put the story in the Cannon Beach newspaper, along with a picture of my step brother, and the young guy who saved him, that they took of them, a couple days later, when they set up a meet, so we could all thank the young guy. He turned out to be an off duty life guard.

I visited Cannon Beach nearly two years ago June 2021 I had n t been there for 45 years Much had changed but I enjoyed it regardless

I lived in Vancouver WA for a little over a year. Made at least a dozen trips to Cannon Beach. The Oregon coast is amazing! Have you hiked Neahkahnie Mountain? It is one of the best coastal views in America!

I just came across this video. The Oregon Coast and the Cannon Beach area in particular are can’t miss places to see!

Not sure if you know this, but, once you reach Ecola State Park and pass the little booth where you pay and turn left to park in that huge parking lot, there used to be a staircase built along the side of the mountain there where you could walk down to crescent beach in a matter of 1-2 minutes. Unfortunately, it completely eroded away I believe in the mid-2000s and now the only way down is via the trail you took, which I've taken many times.

Thanks for sharing the Cannon Beach love. Wishing you many returns. Cheers. Ryan

Great place to visit, rain or shine. Also dog friendly. My favourite gallery is the Jeffrey Hull gallery.

Just added Canon beach to my must see places, so breathtaking and beautiful!

Headed to Oregon for 8 days at the end of July. Great video, this is one of our planned stops! Ty for your quality content on your channel, we have it listed on our home page as one of our favs!

When I used to to Oregon regularly (haven’t been in 16 yrs) I always made it a point to goto Morris Fireside when in Cannon Beach but seems they’re no longer open…..what a shame I always loved eating there

Thank you for sharing dude! I praying that God protection this town! I’m fed up with people who have no respect for local and small town and beach. This is perfect small towns will keep forever like this! Even other towns on the coast too. I am against the apt and height build that block of beauty sky and overcrowded. Feel me bro?

It's wonderful

Very awesome detailed tour.

Thank you for your video and review. I didn't get a chance to try Insomnia but I did try the sleepy monk and it was nothing short of aweful. My husband and I ordered lattes and after a couple sips we dumped them out. I would never reccomend that coffee to anyone reading this.

They say there is a treasure somewhere in that rock.

We going yo Cannon Beach and this video helped me a lot , thank you so much God Bless you!

AWESOME!! Going to get me some chicken wings! What is your backpack brand, model? Looks very cool.

At first I couldn't see that well and I thought that the title of this video was " 24 hours in Qannon beach" LOL. I'm really glad that it's not. Cannon beach is way better than Qannon. Keep up the great work Josh can't wait for the next video!

Love the Pacific Northwest and this looks just beautiful and magical. It’s going on my bucket list !

I really enjoyed your little tour of Cannon Beach! It’s one of my favorite places on earth. I’m hoping some day I’ll get to live closer 🙏🏼♥️

When is the best time to visit Oregon and is there any high tide or low tide we should be aware of during the day???

That beach is my jam! Great vlogventure.

Nicely done! I live here in Cannon Beach...I shared your video!

Cannon Beach = Part of Paradise ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I worked at West of the Moon, The Chocolate Cafe, and my hub and I worked at Fultano's as well in 2019/2020 before covid shut stuff down for tourists and we had to leave bc we couldn't get hours. It was SO sad to leave. I loved it there. 💜😭❤️‍🩹

Dream place! Is End of November bad time to visit it? What is the best time? Does it snow there?

I'm actually right across the street from Haystack Rock visiting a friend who lives on Cannon Beach

I was just in Cannon Beach two weeks ago and it's my happy place! Such great pics - I should've tried to make sunset, but kids lol

We will be here in late Sept. I expect cool temps and maybe some rain but I know we will enjoy this place. Thanks

Thank you

Thank you for this awesome video.. I am going to Oregon!! Gotta hit the best spots. I got a list.

Lovely. Thanks for sharing.

I'm moving to Portland next year. Can't wait.

Excellent review of Cannon Beach. I was just there two days ago and it was so beautiful.

I go there every summer! Sometimes there is endangered birds on haystack rock

Great video! I love Cannon Beach. Can’t wait to visit Oregon in April!

“We?” You find your stride when your Dad starts traveling with you. So who’s the we? Wife, mother, father, sister? You ideas are great, but you need a second banana to really shine.

Super vidéo, j'ai eu la chance de venir à Portland pendant 2 semaines et de voir Canon beach durant une après-midi. Que de beau souvenir, je ne pense qu'à revenir un jour en Oregon. Prenez soins de vos terres.

Great video!!!! Is it worth visiting in the fall/winter months? I just visited in June and it was breathtaking!

We were just there on Sunday, our favorite beach. It was a very low tide, so much to see. 😊

why are these beaches so empty do people swim, surf, or even chill on the sand. . . . lol seems deserted . . .like your own private beach

I love Oregon! The best hike I went on when I was there was to Sweet Creek Falls.

We just lucked at finding Tom's, it was quite good. I liked it a lot! I want to go back and walk to the point you showed to have a nice view. We just hung out in town. Hug Point next time. ;)

When is the good time to visit Cannon beach? I plan to visit Oregon in the end of March or early of April.

How safe is it? I've heard a lot of Oregon now has more than its share of homeless meth users etc. I'm in California and that element is out of control here. I like to travel to places that have little to none of that sh*t, and I'd love to spend a few days in Cannon Beach if that's the case.

Great video! Thank you!!

Wonderful Place ❤ Magic!

I visited Cannon Beach four Thursdays ago

i was thinking about visit oregon someday so beautiful

2004 years in march i live in oregon

Reminds me of Malibu

Would love to hike the forest trails, and end with a dip in the ocean.. is there a popular beach within walking distance of a trail? I assume July/August would be the best time?

Awesome sunset!!!

Great video! We are staying 2 days in Cannon Beach. We want to go beach hopping for scenic picture shots of the ocean. Where else would you recommend beside Hug Point State Park and Ecola State Park? We are willing to drive an hour north or south for great views. Thanks in advance!

HEY, YOU GUYS!

Brilliant vlog! At cannon beach, making my today's itinerary with this. Skipping the cresent beach hike though.i found a perfect viewpoint at Ecola point day use area.

I just got back from there

No Terrible Tilly? Come on, maaaaan. Lol just kiddin. Cannon Beach is amazing though.

Thanks! Just built my itinerary based on this video. It was nice to track someone doing it from the south/east as most videos are from the north or east.

Yes, lovely spot for sure on the West Coast - we arrived close to sunset & had some stunning views & photo ops, would have been Oct and I highly recommend - however, next day/night was a different story - from the viewpoint over the beach, the sea mist/fog was unrelenting... but Oregon remains one of my favourite places in the world! Thanks for sharing. 👍🐅🐾😎

Sleepy monk is the best!

Just visited Cannon Beach. I'll be back. Beautiful and lot's to do and see.

My favorite place ever

What time of year did u go?

Went to Portland for acadamic conference in 2018, and I will never forget the wonderful journey at Cannon Beach

I just came back from a visit and needed a second look!!! so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video...planning to go very soon. Are there places to stay (hotel/motel) really close to the beach that you know of?

That was really awesome. Great video.

Have you see Mario I left there 1 years ago.

Do you have to pay to park?

Cannon beach was my mom's favorite place to go in the summer when we lived in Spokane. When I was a kid we used to rent a cabin right on the beach. Mom and dad would always stay at the Tolovana Inn after us kids found our own way. I loved walking the beach and back then you could take starfish. Great video brings back cool memories.

Brilliant video and commentary that has inspired me to book a trip from the UK to the Pacific North West. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the ideas which will hopefully lead to a memorable trip.

Looking for a new place to live and Oregon is my major consideration… thank you for making it easier.. hope you are well

awesome!!! And fresh Video!! My new Bff

Beautiful. Visited Cannon Beach yesterday. I happened to visit Oregon during a heat wave. I left So. Cal to enjoy cool weather. So, I drove to Cannon Beach to see the rock and enjoy the cool air. Thanks again for sharing these sites.

I must visit this!!!!

excellent video, very clear, very organize, thank you so much.

I love Cannon Beach.
