As a visitor to the Oregon Coast, you’ll want to indulge in our bounty of fresh and flavorful seafood options, and one of those classic dishes is clam chowder! Mo’s Cannon Beach is one of those great places for a seafood feast with a stunning ocean view from the picture windows and patio area. The restaurant itself is casual, with laid-back bench seating inside and out, and it’s the perfect place for a steaming bowl of clam chowder and other fresh and fried fish entrees.
Mo’s Cannon Beach has been a staple on the Oregon Coast for nearly eight decades, started by a brave and brassy woman named Mohava Marie Niemi. Her recipes and big heart brought diners from all across the country, and Mo’s Cannon Beach went from one modest restaurant on the coast and continues her legacy today with ten locations across Oregon.
A highlight of any vacation to the Oregon Coast is dining out, and Mo’s Cannon Beach will be an excellent addition to any getaway. Before you start making reservations at the best restaurants in town, you’ll want to secure your lodging, and our Oregon Coast Bed and Breakfast is the ultimate haven of relaxation. Our romantic Inn, located in the quiet community of Arch Cape, is the perfect destination. Check out our upcoming availability and book your room today!
