The Waves is a fine quality, family-owned & operated motel, right at the beach and a block from the pedestrian-friendly row of interesting shops and restaurants.

Because the weather was so nice, we decided on a last minute road trip. We arrived in Cannon Beach and stayed at The Waves in a King-studio room from Jan 10-12th. The room was terrific.

We stayed here just one night several years ago on an Oregon to California trip and vowed to return. We are so glad we did! We had a King Flagship studio for 4 nights and watched eagles fishing on the sandbar just yards away and saw the almost full moon come up one night and then set into the ocean... More
