You can get a glimpse of coastal living in Cannon Beach, Oregon at the annual Cottage & Garden Tour, held in the middle of September each year.

Historic inns, vintage homes, and special gardens will welcome guests to enjoy a weekend of special receptions, presentations, concerts, garden tea, wine tastings, and even a costume contest.

The annual event is coordinated by the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum which celebrates the town’s heritage as a coastal destination community.  Typically, special events surrounding the tour are held at Tolovana Inn.

A Destination Since the 1880’s

Cannon Beach has been a destination community since the 1880’s.  In fact, in an August 1891 issue of The Daily Astorian newspaper, Cannon Beach was declared a “sportsman’s paradise.”  Additionally, it was heralded as an “ideal location for rest and recuperation.” Still true!

Cannon Beach has emerged as a picture-perfect destination of unmatched charm.  And during this special weekend, you can enjoy an extraordinary experience–especially when you stay at the wonderfully inviting Tolovana Inn.
