Food scene

A very small public house tucked away just off of 2nd Street, offering specialty cocktails, beer from Bills Tavern, and a handcrafted menu featuring delicious meat they smoke themselves. Inside and outside seating. We love the homemade pretzels dipped in their beer soup, hand-cut fries, BBQ Pork Sandwich, the ciabatta and All-Day Sandwich for breakfast. Great cocktails too! https://www.cbsmokehouse4u.com/

Ecola State Park At the north end of Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park has some of the most famous views of Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock. Visit Ecola Beach and Indian Beach. Both are a short walk from the parking area. There are many hikes in the Park that are simply amazing! They include: Crescent Beach - our most favorite place in Cannon Beach! Indian Beach trail to Ecola Beach. Take the trail near the restrooms at Ecola Beach Clatsop Loop - head toward the Hiker's Camp. There is a beautiful overlook Lewis and Clark Trail to Tillamook Head - this trail will take you from Ecola State Park to the south end of Seaside. It is a challenging 11.5 mile trail in and back. The Seaside end of the trail is a little steep and may have some downed trees. You can start at either end and hike as far as you like. There are viewpoints at each end. https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=136 https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/oregon/ecola-state-park

Visit at low tide to see more of the tidepools. The lower the tide, especially a negative tide, is the best! There are members of Haystack Rock Awareness Program most of the year around the Rock. Check with them, they can let you know if the puffins are there or anything else of interest on the Rock. https://www.cannonbeach.org/things-to-do/beaches-and-parks/haystack-rock/

Visit the tide pools! There are amazing tide pools at Haystack Rock. You do not want to miss visiting the Rock at low tide. There are also other tide pools at Ecola Point at the north end of Cannon Beach. This is a great spot if the tides are negative or close to negative. Be prepared to walk a couple of miles on the beach. You can park in Les Shirley Park and get on the beach there. You will want to be on the beach at least 1-2 hours before low tide to give yourself time to walk. https://www.cannonbeach.org/three-great-spots-to-check-out-tidepools-that-arent-haystack-rock/

Hug Point State Recreation Site offers an easy access to the beach. Just 5 miles south of Cannon Beach, this little wayside includes forested picnic areas, a restroom and a short walkway to the beach. Hug Point is known for it's seasonal waterfall, sandstone caves and narrow passage used before the highway was built. Imagine traveling by stagecoach along the beach. Before the highway was built, the beach was the only way to travel along this stretch of coast. North of the parking area at low tide you may walk along the original stagecoach road, still harboring the wheel ruts carved into the rock. Pioneers traveling around this headland had to hug the point carefully, even at low tide. Thus, the point and the park are both named Hug Point. https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=137

Arcadia Beach is just a mile south of Cannon Beach and is known for its tidepool areas to the north and south. There is a parking lot and restrooms. The beach is just steps from the parking area. Arcadia’s beach stretches for more than a mile between two headlands. Just a short distance to the north is Humbug Point, with Lion Rock just off the point. To the south is Hug Point. Both headlands can only be passed at low tide. Humbug Point was named by pioneers because it was often confused with Hug Point, the next headland south and the most difficult headland to round when traveling south along this stretch of coast. If you have the luck to explore during low tide, .6 mile further north, past an off shore rock called Jockey Cap, is Silver Point, so named for the color of the weathered spruce trees on the bluff. Many locals walk from the south end of Cannon Beach to Arcadia during low tides because of the beautiful rocks in the water and along the shore and because it is often much less busy. https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=135

Build a bonfire on the beach! One of the most fun things to do almost year round in Cannon Beach. Roast hot dogs and make some s'mores! All of the local markets carry firewood and kindling. Please keep your fire at least 50 feet from any firewalls, driftwood and the dune grass. Pour water on your fire when you are finished. Please do not bury hot coals as they can stay hot enough to burn people and pets the next day. Check the Cannon Beach Fire Departments website below for any burn bans in the summer. https://www.cbfire.com/burn-restrictions
