Downtown Cannon Beach (Hemlock Street)
Hemlock Street
The main street of an art town lined with galleries, bookshops, cafés and small seafood eateries. It is ideal for leisurely browsing and tasting clam chowder.
Hemlock Street is the main street of Cannon Beach. Dozens of galleries, craft shops, independent bookshops and coffee roasteries line it, and its wooden cottages and garden-style storefronts give it a distinctive North Coast charm. You can buy seascape paintings by local artists, or enjoy a bowl of clam chowder or fish and chips. A sandcastle contest is held in June, and an arts festival in autumn. Parking in the town centre is limited, so in peak season it is best to arrive early or stay within walking distance.
