Why Honeymoon in Cannon Beach, OR?

3. Creating & Viewing Art in Downtown Cannon Beach

An artists’ village for decades, Cannon Beach is now famous as one of America’s top 100 art towns. You’ll find art galleries representing every type and style of artwork tempting you in for a private show. Intimate and interactive, galleries are welcoming personal spaces where you’re just ask likely to find the artist at work or ready to visit with you. Stroll the streets and take in the plentiful public art installations or find immersive activities like those offered by the Tolovana Art Colony. The Chamber of Commerce calendar is the place to find workshops and classes during your visit. Dance, paint, make; opportunities are all over town for crafting and creating to make your own souvenir experience on your honeymoon.

4. Elevate Your Imbibing Education

Craft brewing, distilling and boutique winemaking have all made a home on Oregon’s North Coast and each comes with its own language, culture and complexity. Learn about vintages, mashes and fermentation from dedicated pros. Wine tasting events take place weekly at The Wine Shack or on demand at Laurel’s Wine Shop, and Pilot House Distilling has a tasting room for their spirits and canned cocktails. Breweries like Bill’s Tavern, Public Coast Brewing Co and Pelican Brewing have their vats on display and tasting flights on the menus and servers are happy to walk you through the choices. These are all excellent ways to learn about the subtleties that make these small batches special and appreciate your alcohol in a whole new way.
Coffee and tea are also craft creations in Cannon Beach; we even have a specialty Chocolate Café!

5. Explore More of the Oregon Coast Food Scene

The dining scene in Cannon Beach is already famous so you’ll appreciate choices from coastal classics to the latest award-winning cuisine. Romantic multi-course meals are a specialty at the Stephanie Inn, Newman’s at 988 and the Wayfarer or taste globally at Castaways for Caribbean flavors or Mi Corazon Mexican Cuisine – just few of our favorite Cannon Beach restaurants. For your special honeymoon getaway, take the experience up a notch and book a Dinner Show at EVOO Cannon Beach, where the instruction, wine pairing and technique are presented in the chef’s display kitchen for small groups.

Be sure to check out the North Coast Food Trail for details  on fishers, producers, harvesters, grocers and dairy farms along the 70 miles of coastline from Cannon Beach to Lincoln City.  Cannon Beach’s family favorite Bruce’s Candy Kitchen is on the list, for their locally made, memory making sweets.
