amazing! definitely reccomended!
This trip was amazing! Our tour guide John was the best and went above and beyond to show us all of the sights. He was very enthusiastic about everything and he was so informed! we just wish the stop for lunch and shopping was longer! being picked up right outside of our hotel was amazing and we felt so safe on the ride with the other passengers and John! Also, the van we took was spotless and so clean - not to mention Johns incredible driving! thank you again!

Amazing beach experience
The views from the cliff before getting to the various beaches were breath taking.
The beaches were very nice and clean. Also there were only a few people around.

Beautiful Pacific Coast Tour
It was a great tour . Gunner was friendly, knowledgeable and just fun to travel with. The van was comfortable and we saw what we wanted to see. Stunning views and enough time to enjoy. We would of liked to have some time in Cannon Beach to shop but other than that it was great.

The tour guide, Marcus,...
The tour guide, Marcus, was very knowledgeable and gave us fun facts and history. The stops along the way were spectacular! The 3-hour break in Canon gave us time to explore, eat, and not feel rushed. Highly recommend this tour.

What a great way to see the coast! Halle was knowledgeable and fun…which made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. Haystack and Cannon Beach was my favorite!

Rob was a great tour...
Rob was a great tour guide. Provided tourist with the history of the area. Gave enough time at the stops and tailored the tour towards passenger’s interests. It’s a long day, but walked away with some knowledge of the coast area. I would recommend this tour if this is your first time in the area.

Wonderful day trip
Tour was great! For anyone visiting Portland it is a great way to spend most of your day! Oregon coast is so much more than just cannon beach and John, our tour guide made sure to show us all of it!
You’ll hit great beaches, get a insider info on Portland and Cannon Beach and will see places that were included in Gunnies and Point Beak movies!
Overall, would do again and will recommend anyone I know !
Thank you!

People Also Ask
Is Cannon Beach worth visiting?
Yes, Cannon Beach is definitely worth visiting. The dramatic rock formations on the beach–including the famous Haystack Rock–are very photogenic and interesting to look at when you’re taking a beach walk. The town of Cannon Beach has excellent restaurants and boutiques, and the nearby Ecola State Park is a fun hiking destination.
How many days should I spend at Cannon Beach?
Most travelers will be happy spending one or two days in Cannon Beach, but a third day is worthwhile if you’d like to hike in the coastal Ecola State Park nearby. As it’s a 90-minute drive from Portland, Cannon Beach is ideal for a relaxing weekend break from the city.
Which is better, out of Seaside or Cannon Beach?
Both Seaside and Cannon Beach are worth visiting, and which you prefer depends on your interests. Seaside is much larger than Cannon Beach (although it’s still relatively small, with a population of around 7,200), so Cannon Beach is more peaceful and laid back. Seaside is especially renowned for its surfing, and Cannon Beach is famous for its dramatic rock formations.
What time of year is best to visit Cannon Beach?
Summer (June–August) is an ideal time to visit Cannon Beach if you want to spend time outdoors as the weather is generally warm–there’s even a sandcastle competition in June. However, there’s no reason to avoid visiting in winter. Cannon Beach is a popular winter storm and whale watching destination, which is best in winter and early spring.
Can you see whales at Cannon Beach?
Yes, you can often see whales from Cannon Beach. Around 18,000 gray whales pass by twice yearly on their migration between Alaska and Baja California. Mid-March to mid-April and mid-December to mid-January are the best times to see the whales. Oregon State Parks volunteers help visitors spot the whales at peak times.
Can you swim at Cannon Beach?
Yes, you can swim in the sea at Cannon Beach, but note a few essential safety tips. The currents can be substantial (rip currents are common), and rogue logs can pose a hazard to swimmers. Also, the sea here can be very cold. Wearing a wetsuit is advisable, even in summer.
