Cannon Beach is located in Clatsop County, Oregon. Originally named Ecola, after the creek that empties into the Pacific Ocean to the north of the community, it was renamed in 1922 to Cannon Beach (the name of the beach that extends south of Ecola creek for eight miles until ending at Arch Cape) at the insistence of the US Post Office because the name was frequently confused with Eola.

Cannon Beach is recognized by its well-known landmark, Haystack Rock, located to the southwest of downtown Cannon Beach, near Tolovana Park. There is a small cave system that penetrates the rock and can be seen from the coastline. The rock is also protected as a marine sanctuary.

Near Haystack Rock are the Needles, two tall rocks rising straight out of the water. Together with Haystack Rock, the Needles create a photogenic panorama that is even more appealing during a sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

Downtown Cannon Beach is filled with small businesses. We are located right in the middle of downtown and would love to have you visit us at our store!
