Dog Walkers in Cannon Beach

Pets are welcome on-leash, or under voice control,  at dog-friendly Cannon Beach near the quaint Cannon Beach town center loaded with shops and cafes year-round. The nearby Ecola State Park offers a more secluded stroll on the miles of beautiful trails in the park, following the steps of Lewis and Clark to the unforgettable scenic overlooks. Leashed dogs are welcomed throughout the park. Haystack Rock is a gorgeous designated bird and marine sanctuary rising above the sand and sea. Although dogs are permitted to be off leash on the beach, they must be leashed around Haystack Rock due to its status as a bird and marine sanctuary.

Nehalem Bay State Park, set between the ocean and the bay, is situated on a 4-mile long spit and features a campground and two day-use areas. Your dog will be thrilled with a sniff-tastic hike through the dunes to the beach for a long walk on the beach or the surf. Watch for treasures, such as agates, shells, and occasionally glass floats along your way. The campground is set among a stand of shore pine for other pawsome leashed excursions. The 1.8 bike path provides breathtaking views of the bay and you'll want to watch for deer and elk, and an occasional coyote, as your stroll along.

Cartwright Park in South Seaside is just 9 miles from Cannon Beach, and is a beautiful family park only 4 blocks from the beach. After your walk in the park or your trek down the beach, stop in at the Bell Buoy of Seaside for fresh, fast seafood. Your pup is welcome to join you in the outdoor seating next to the little river. Stay at the Shilo Inn and Suites Seaside with up to two pets of any size for an additional fee. Or, you and your pup may enjoy a quiet rest at the Coast River Inn which welcomes up to two pets of any size for an additional fee.

Rockaway Beach, just 26 miles from Cannon Beach, welcomes you and your pooch to seven miles of sandy coastline for a walk in the surf, kite flying, beachcombing, whale watching, or just relaxing in the sun. After enjoying the beach, try these dog-friendly restaurants for lunch or dinner. The Sand Dollar Restaurant & Lounge buys most ingredients locally for their menu of comfort food for travelers. Order a bowl of clam chowder while dining at the Old Oregon Smokehouse with your pup in the outdoor seating. The Beach Bakeshop has four outdoor tables with leash hooks just waiting for you to enjoy freshly baked pastries or lunchboxes in the fresh sea air.
