Clear your mind with a fresh air stroll

Of course, there’s always the allure of the wide sandy beaches just out your door. Cannon Beach offers miles of uninterrupted beach to explore. And along the magnificent shoreline, tidepools present their own kind of magic.
Optimum viewing of coastal tidepools is an hour before low tide. There, you’ll discover many colorful and strange creatures as the tide recedes. This unique environment reveals bright sea stars clinging to rocks. Green anemones lay open like flowers at the bottom of pools. Look carefully and you’ll see crabs, fish, snails, limpets, coral, sponge, and colorful sea slugs.

Cannon Beach Cottage & Garden Tour, Sept 7-9 (photo courtesy of CB Museum)
You can get a glimpse of coastal living in Cannon Beach, Oregon at the annual Cottage & Garden Tour, held 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, a 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.
Two of the weekend special events are hosted at the Tolovana Inn.
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 into a picture-perfect destination of unmatched charm. And during this special weekend, you can experience it in an extraordinary way.

In 1984, Oregon became the first location in the world to host a coast-wide volunteer beach clean-up.
Now 33 years later, this clean-up model continues, and most importantly, has spread across the nation and to nearly 100 countries.
You can do your part to help keep the magical Cannon Beach coastline pristine by pitching in during the Spring Beach Clean-up sponsored by SOLVE on April 1.
It’s the second weekend of spring break for many Oregon school kids, and a great way to get them involved in community service. There’s no age minimum and you can even bring your dog along–on a leash.
Volunteers are encouraged to register in advance and meet at Cannon Beach City Hall starting at 9:00am, before being dispatched to help clean up the beaches from Ecola Park to the Tolovana Wayside, and as far south as Arch Cape.
SOLVE will provide bags and gloves, but would prefer volunteers bring their own reusable garden gloves. Volunteers are also encouraged to bring their own reusable bucket/bag and reusable water bottles to help reduce plastic waste.
Volunteers can also use an old colander or kitty litter scoop to sift the sand for tiny bits of plastics and cigarette butts, both of which are extremely harmful to shorebirds and marine life.
Over the past three decades more than 126,000 Beach & Riverside Cleanup volunteers have removed 820 tons of litter from Oregon’s beaches, neighborhoods, parks and waterways.
Guests of Tolovana Inn who volunteer for the Solve clean-up will be eligible for a weekend discount. Ask about the special pricing when you call for reservations.
Tolovana Inn appreciates the efforts of all SOLVE volunteers, especially the efforts of Cannon Beach clean-up coordinator and local resident, Jenee Pearce-Mushen. Hauling, disposal and recycling services donated by Recology Western Oregon.
