Cannon Beach sits on Oregon's northern coast in Clatsop County, where Haystack Rock and miles of Pacific shoreline define one of the state's most recognizable vacation communities. With 54% of homes used seasonally (792 of 1,469 housing units), the town's character shifts dramatically between the quiet winter months and bustling summer season. The year-round population of 1,290 swells when second homeowners and visitors arrive.
The Cannon Beach post office maintains 913 PO Boxes for just 613 occupied households. That's a 1.49x adoption rate. Why so many boxes for so few year-round residents? Seasonal homeowners maintain boxes year-round to receive mail when they're away. Vacation rental property managers need boxes for multiple properties. Historic homes along the beach lack standard street addressing. The result is that nearly everyone uses a PO Box, whether they live here full-time or visit seasonally.
Street names like S Hemlock St (50 delivery points), Pacific Ave, Ocean Ave, and Elk Creek Rd blend coastal geography with Oregon's forested landscape. Presidential names (E Jackson St, E Monroe St, E Van Buren St) mark the town's established grid, while Alaskan place names (W Kenai St, W Noatak St, W Tanana Ave) hint at historical connections. The post office serves two rural carrier routes covering 13.1 square miles.
Median home values of $740,100 and a median age of 52.5 years point to Cannon Beach as a retirement and second-home destination rather than a working town. Bachelor's degree attainment stands at 44%, well above national averages. It's an educated, affluent community drawn to coastal beauty. The 149 business establishments employ 1,453 workers, many in tourism and hospitality serving the seasonal population.
For year-round residents and seasonal homeowners, a PO Box address is standard: PO Box [number], Cannon Beach, OR 97110. Rural route delivery exists for some properties, but the high PO Box adoption rate means most mail goes to the post office rather than to the door.
Street names blend Oregon coastal geography (Pacific, Ocean, Hemlock) with an unusual collection of Alaskan place names (Kenai, Noatak, Tanana, Sitka), creating a Pacific Northwest character.
