By far the best place along the coast. Most the other towns are small and don't have much to offer. Cannon Beach has arts/crafts and many more places to eat.
It has become a favorite place for my fiancee & I to end up on the weekends.
Great chocolates, can't remember the place we stop for lunch but it has a woman's name and the staff is always great.
The beach is great too- can loose yourself just relaxing there.
Highly recommend it for day trips. Start at Seaside, play in Cannon Beach, traipse to TIllimook and back.
Home by 5- perfect!
Pros: great town, always room to relax, never crowded
Cons: cold, traffic to there
