The Ocean Lodge invites guests to enjoy the natural beauty of Cannon Beach from their windows overlooking the Pacific. Accommodations evoke traditional lodge style with the convenience of modern amenities. Guests wake up in a luxurious yet comfortable room and open the door to an oceanfront view from the balcony. Then, they wander upstairs for breakfast and coffee in a common area with vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural morning light. After a day of beachcombing and sea air, guests fill the Jacuzzi tub and light a wood fire before heading out to one of Cannon Beach’s many restaurants and art galleries. The Ocean Lodge is located on the beach, just two blocks from the Oregon Coast Highway 101 and near Tolovana Beach State Park.
