Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach is a coastal town 80 miles west of Portland, Oregon. With a population of only 1,600, the town boasts 400,000 visitors annually. One half of these travelers visit Haystack Rock, the world's third tallest monolith, located 1.5 miles south of Cannon Beach. All Oregon beaches are designated public recreation areas and Cannon Beach has 44 public beach access points. The town is only four miles in length and many of the shops, galleries, and restaurants are within walking distance.

 

Haystack Summer Choral Conducting classes take place at the Cannon Beach Elementary School on the north side of town at 268 Beaver Street. The city of Cannon Beach can be reached by Highways 26 and 101. Bus service is available from Portland and shuttle service is available from the airport.
