Some traditions are built in the sand, but the memories they leave behind are written in stone. 🏖️✨There is nothing quite like the collective magic when our entire town comes together. This past weekend, the shoreline transformed into an open-air gallery for the annual Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest, and we were absolutely spellbound by the incredible talent on display. As proud, long-time sponsors of this beautiful community tradition, we loved seeing generations of families working side-by-side with the salty breeze in the air.
Whether you were here cheering on the sculptors or missed the fun this year, start planning your next coastal getaway. Mark your calendars to secure your front-row seat to next year's masterpiece—the tradition continues on June 12, 2027.
