Pet-Friendly The coastline along Cannon Beach is an oasis for ocean-loving pups. Luckily, the area has many pet-friendly options with lodging at all price points so you don’t have to leave your furry friends behind on your next trip. From hotels that offer stylish pet beds to dedicated pet play areas, here are some welcoming places to stay with your best bud. Check in at the Hallmark Resort & Spa, the closest resort to the iconic Haystack Rock, and tails will wag with the complete VIP treatment. Upon arrival, every pup receives a special “doggie bag” that includes a Frisbee throw toy, doggie cookies, and a sheet and towel for sandy paws. The resort also caters to Fido with two pet areas conveniently located near the guest rooms, a wash-down station and dog treats in the lobby 24/7. For the dog’s humans, there’s the thrill of an oceanfront property with postcard-perfect views, easy beach access, family suites, freshly baked cookies, popcorn, s’mores kits, and a pool and fitness center. Land’s End at Cannon Beach gladly welcomes pet pals and provides dog blankets, treats and a dedicated sand-wash station in the courtyard. Peek at prior Instafamous four-legged guests with their dedicated hashtag (#landsenddogs), and be sure to add your own photos after your stay. Many of the 15 spacious, light-filled suites and studios have ocean views, fireplaces and kitchenettes. Ground-floor suites offer direct access to the shared oceanfront terrace while second-floor suites feature Juliet balconies. If your doggo is more of a city hound, the hotel is conveniently located downtown, one block away from shopping and dogfriendly restaurants. In the quiet Tolovana section of Cannon Beach, The Wayside Inn greets four-legged friends with a basket that includes dog-designated sheets and towels, two pet bowls and, of course, doggie treats. In addition to easy beach access, many of the top-floor rooms have pup-approved ocean views, gas fireplaces and decks. Other perks that make the inn both family- and pet-friendly range from the indoor pool and hot tub to board games, wagons and beach toys. At the nearby Tolovana Inn, find similar amenities for your four-legged friends. Expect to find a blanket, a bed and pet bowls upon arrival. Spend the evenings stargazing with your best pal. NOTE Most hotels charge an additional nightly fee or deposit, block off specific rooms for guests with pets, or offer seasonal pet packages, so it’s important to call ahead if you’re checking in with a four-legged guest. Pet-friendly rooms are often limited, so call in advance to book. Typically, hotels do not allow pets to be left unattended, so it’s important to plan pet-friendly activities as well.
