The retail area is an impressive collection of smart shops, all tastefully landscaped and some with tranquil courtyards—no obtrusive big-box stores here. The most popular annual event in Cannon Beach is the Sandcastle Contest, scheduled each year in June. The town celebrates music and art during the Stormy Weather Arts Festival, the first full weekend of November.
