Where to Eat, Drink, and Lounge in Charming Cannon Beach

"Open since 1977, The Wayfarer is one of the only dining establishments in town that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner — seven days a week — with a view of the iconic sea stack Haystack Rock. Just mere steps from the beach, this low-slung, sprawling exposed wood-accented restaurant has a pretty sweet set-up. You can send the kids down to play as you linger over grilled salmon eggs Benedict, pan-fried razor clams, or short rib poutine with Tillamook cheese curds. On date night, head to the cozy, upscale lounge, which specializes in whiskey. Ward off the winter chill with a hot toddy or Irish coffee, or the summer heat with a vodka-spiked blueberry lavender lemonade." - Alli Fodor, Jennifer Burns Bright
