The town (named for a cannon that washed up on the beach in 1846) has worked hard to preserve its natural beauty. The city doesn’t specify materials, but many people use shingle siding, making the buildings compatible with the character and setting of the city. The retail area is an impressive collection of smart shops, all tastefully landscaped and some with tranquil courtyards—no obtrusive big-box stores here. The most popular annual event in Cannon Beach is the Sandcastle Contest, scheduled each year in June. The town celebrates music and art during the Stormy Weather Arts Festival, the first full weekend of November.
