The best times to go to Cannon Beach are during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds, or in the summer (June to August) for the warmest temperatures and most activities.For those looking to avoid the busiest times while still enjoying mild weather, spring offers blossoming rhododendrons and migrating grey whales, especially in April and May. You'll find fewer people on the beach and in the village, making it ideal for a relaxed trip.Summer, from June to August, is peak season. The weather is typically warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the beach, Haystack Rock, and outdoor activities. This is when the town is most active, with all shops and restaurants fully operational. It's a great time for families due to the warmer water and more daylight hours for exploring.Autumn, particularly September and October, brings crisp air and often clear skies after the summer rush. The crowds thin out, but the weather remains agreeable for beach walks and exploring Ecola State Park.
