Pet Friendly Cannon Beach

Welcome to Cannon Beach, the canine coastal paradise of the Pacific Northwest. This small coastal town situated along the rugged Oregon coast is one of the most pet-friendly cities in the entire state, making it a haven for visitors who want to bring their furry family members along on all their adventures.

Miles of shoreline littered with driftwood for fetching, tide pools for exploring, and trails for sniffing make this a wonderland for your dog. Fill your days with outdoor fun in local state parks, or enjoy pup-approved patios and cozy shopping downtown. And when it’s time for a rest, our selection of pet-friendly vacation rentals makes that easy, too! There really is no other town in Oregon that offers as much for you and your four-legged friend to enjoy. Check out all the adventures we’ve dug up and start planning your visit today!

At Beachcomber Vacation Homes, we want your pup to feel as welcome as you—they’re family after all! That’s why each of our pet-friendly vacation rentals comes with your pet’s very own Welcome Bucket! Inside, you’ll find all kinds of things to make your stay easier. Don’t worry about packing food and water bowls, treats, or waste bags; we’ve taken care of all of that for you. You may even sniff out some hidden happies! Now that all the tails are wagging, let’s check out the fun waiting for you in Cannon Beach.

Off Leash in Cannon Beach

We’re lucky to call Cannon Beach one of the most dog-friendly stretches of coastline in the country. Local rules here are simple: as long as your pup stays within sight and under voice control, they can run off-leash and enjoy the beach to their heart’s content.

You’ll see dogs racing through the surf, chasing balls across the open sand, and making fast friends along the shore from Tolovana to Haystack Rock. We always recommend bringing a leash for quick control, plenty of fresh water, and waste bags for cleanup. The ocean may look tempting, but keep an eye on waves and changing tides, and avoid sensitive wildlife zones near Haystack Rock.

It’s this balance of freedom and care that makes Cannon Beach special—dogs can play safely, and everyone else gets to enjoy the same relaxed coastal experience.

Dog-Friendly Trails Near Cannon Beach

When your pup’s had their fill of sand and surf, head for the trails. Cannon Beach is surrounded by forested paths and ocean overlooks where leashed dogs are always welcome. You’ll find everything from short, shaded strolls to rewarding climbs with coastal views.

Start at Ecola State Park, just north of town. The park’s network of trails winds through Sitka spruce forests and offers incredible viewpoints of Haystack Rock and the Tillamook Lighthouse. For a moderate challenge, try the Clatsop Loop Trail, a 2.8-mile route with switchbacks, sweeping views, and plenty of photo stops along the way.

Further south, the Neahkahnie Mountain Trail in Oswald West State Park rewards you and your hiking buddy with one of the most stunning panoramas on the Oregon Coast. The trail is steep in sections, so pack extra water and plan for a few breaks.
