A dreamy quality takes over in Arch Cape as the seasons change from summer to fall and as we creep toward winter. One of the best places for storm-watching is our romantic Oregon Coast Bed and Breakfast! You’ll be cozy and warm inside by the fire as the dark clouds roll in on the horizon, the waves crash on the shore, and the rain patters on the windows. It’s truly a magical time of year and ideal for those looking to spend quality time with their partner.
Fall and winter are the best times to watch dramatic wave crashes, reaching up to 300 feet high, resulting from winter storms in the Pacific Ocean from November through March. Of course, you’ll want to be aware of King Tides, which occur at the new and full moons due to the alignment of the earth, moon, and sun. One of the best places to storm watch is from the comfort of our Oregon Coast Bed and Breakfast, warm and cozy, and taking it all in from our beautiful picture windows.
Just south of Cannon Beach, Arch Cape Inn is one of the most luxurious properties on the Coast. Combining our old European charm and castle design with our luxurious amenities, you won’t find a better spot in town to see the mist float along the shore. Pair that with a wonderful breakfast each morning, personalized service, and our private location, and you’ll be on cloud nine for your next fall or winter getaway. Book your room today!

More Things to Do in Cannon Beach During Storm Season
While the Oregon Coast might not be the first place that comes to mind for a cold weather retreat, there are actually so many lovely things to do in Cannon Beach in the off-season. You’ll encounter fewer crowds and tourists for a more authentic visit to our charming coastal towns on the Pacific Ocean. There’s something beautiful about the beach on a stormy day that you should encounter at least once on a romantic getaway.
Here are the best things to do in Cannon Beach during the fall and winter:
- Storm Watching in Oregon: Huge crashing waves, churning cloudy skies, and impressive rain storms, this is part of the fun on the coast during fall and winter. You can curl up inside with a glass of wine by the fire and watch as Mother Nature puts on a show outside.
- Beach Combing in the Winter: There is always some good treasure hunting along the beach after a storm. You never know what the giant waves will bring up to the shore.
- Whale Watching from the Coast: Cannon Beach and spots along the Oregon Coast have two whale watching seasons, one of which is in the winter. Gray whales migrate up and down the coastline, and the winter migration peaks from mid-December to mid-January. Ecola State Park is an excellent stop for whale watching, and it’s only a few minutes from our Oregon Coast Bed and Breakfast.
- Holiday Events and Parties: There’s plenty to discover around the holidays, as well as fantastic shopping opportunities to start your list for gifts. Haystack Holidays in Cannon Beach offers events, parties, and sales to check out.
- Tour the Holiday Decorations: The residents and local businesses love to dress up for the holidays. After Thanksgiving, Cannon Beach in Lights is a contest to see who can pull out all the stops with sparkling lights and festive decor.
Heading to the Oregon Coast during the off-season is such a different experience than visiting in the summer; all the same, this is a cozy time of year to snuggle up and watch the waves crash on the shore.
