I think my wife and I are going to the Oregon Coast for our anniversary in early August, 3 nights. We live in Seattle. Right now, we are booked at the Ocean Lodge in Cannon Beach which I hear is very nice. My only concern is night time entertainment.

We are only 25 minutes from Salem and want a few suggestions for places to eat. I have inlaws - meaning free babysitting - in Salem so we go up there a couple times a month for dinner as a couple.

Hi,



I'm looking for any recommendations for two nights stay somewhere along Cannon Beach. I'm flexible where as this is a stop on our way to San Francisco.
