A Perfect Storm in Oregon

By Linda Tancs

Beachcombers, take note.  Oregon’s Cannon Beach, a popular town about 80 miles from Portland, offers unrivaled dramatic scenery in winter.  Thanks to the winds, waves and heavy rains this time of year, tide-pool viewing is just one of many delights offered by what many would probably perceive as an unlikely winter beach destination.  Fogless nights offer uncompromised views from iconic Haystack Rock and the Tillamook Lighthouse.  But perhaps best of all is the beauty of a frost-tinged beach and the excitement of waiting out a winter storm from the cozy comfort of your oceanfront suite, at a fraction of summer’s rates.

Accurate description!

Life at the beach is great, especially here in Cannon Beach. Let us know if anybody wants a copy of our visitors guide (www.cannonbeach.org) Brent Dahl / CB Chamber of Commerce
