Zipping through the forest at the coast

The Oregon coast is known for its breathtaking views, and there’s no shortage of ways to take in the sights when vacationing in Cannon Beach. Make the short walk from Tolovana Inn to the beach to watch the waves roll in or set off on a memorable tour of town. If you’re looking to add a bit of thrill to your sightseeing excursion, go ziplining in nearby Warrenton, Oregon.

What to Know about This Oregon Zipline Tour

Roughly 30 minutes from our Cannon Beach Hotel is High Life Adventures Zipline Tour. This Warrenton attraction helps you experience Mother Nature’s beauty on an incredible adventure. The eight-line tour takes you over seasoned timber, a seven-acre lake, and ponds. Your outing is led by trained guides who watch and assist to ensure your experience remains fun and safe.

The tour generally lasts about two and a half hours, but the group size can affect the duration. Before reserving your visit, make sure you read up on their restrictions, which include things like weight and age limits. On the day of your ziplining excursion, arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled time, as late arrivals will not be able to join once a tour has started.

For another adventure with treetop views, try High Life Adventure Park in Seaside. The aerial challenge course has something for all ages, and guides are there to help you choose your difficulty level. With over 50 challenge elements and 30 platforms, there is no shortage of ways to test your strength and agility.

Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest

Today, the annual festival is broken up into several divisions, including masters, teens, juniors, and more. Stop by the beach to see the piles of sand turned into incredible sculptures.

Art Festivals

There are several art festivals throughout the year that celebrate incredible local talent. In May, galleries gather the latest pieces of work from their featured artists for Spring Unveilings Arts Festival.
