The Friends of the Dunes at Cannon Beach

12 Years of Protecting the Dunes that Protect us All

A grassroots group protecting coastal resilience, biodiversity, scenic beauty, and public access for residents and visitors.

Between Cannon Beach’s spectacular coastline and its charming town lies a healthy, hardworking dune system. These dunes provide habitat for plants and animals, space for recreation, and vital protection against storms, flooding, and sand inundation.
