Full-service moving solutions for Cannon Beach residents and property owners — local expertise, professional care, and a commitment to protecting your belongings in this unique coastal community.

Cannon Beach is one of the most recognizable destinations on the Oregon coast, famous for Haystack Rock, the charming downtown village atmosphere, world-class art galleries, and a residential community that values the quiet beauty of coastal living. Moving in or out of Cannon Beach requires a company that understands the town’s character, its compact geography, and the logistical realities of operating in a small coastal village. Cal’s Moving & Storage is that company.

Whether you are relocating within Cannon Beach, moving to the area from Portland or beyond, or leaving the coast for a new destination, our team delivers careful, reliable, and affordable moving services tailored to this special community. We bring years of Oregon coast experience and deep respect for the homes and neighborhoods we serve.

Cannon Beach Is Home — And We Know It Like the Back of Our Hand

Cannon Beach stretches along a narrow strip of coastline backed by forested hills, with most of the town’s approximately 1,700 residents living within walking distance of the beach. The community is defined by its artistic character, strict design standards that preserve the village aesthetic, and a housing stock that ranges from classic beach cottages and mid-century homes to upscale vacation properties and contemporary residences tucked into the tree line along Ecola Creek and Tolovana Park.

Our movers understand the specific conditions of Cannon Beach. Hemlock Street — the main commercial corridor — is narrow and often congested with pedestrian and tourist traffic, especially during summer. Residential streets branch off into quiet neighborhoods where homes may be accessed by steep, narrow driveways or forest-lined paths. Many properties are vacation homes that sit empty for months, and their owners need reliable movers who can coordinate access and timing without being on site. We handle all of these situations with the local knowledge and flexibility that Cannon Beach demands.

Why Cannon Beach Residents and Property Owners Choose Cal’s Moving

Careful, Detail-Oriented Service

Moving in Cannon Beach — What Makes It Different

Compact Streets and Limited Access

Cannon Beach was not designed for large commercial vehicles. Many residential streets are narrow, and properties along the hillsides may have single-lane driveways with limited turnaround space. Our team knows which streets accommodate our trucks and where we need to use smaller vehicles or shuttle techniques to reach homes safely.

Seasonal Tourism and Traffic

Summer and holiday weekends bring thousands of visitors to Cannon Beach, creating significant congestion on Hemlock Street and Highway 101. We schedule moves to avoid peak tourist hours and use our knowledge of back routes and timing to keep your move on track regardless of the season.

Coastal Weather

Cannon Beach receives heavy rainfall and frequent fog, particularly from October through May. Wind can be strong along the beachfront and exposed hillsides. Our crew is fully prepared with waterproof protection, tarps, and wind-safe carrying techniques to handle any conditions.

Vacation Property Logistics

Many Cannon Beach homes are vacation properties whose owners live elsewhere. We coordinate key pickup, alarm codes, access details, and delivery scheduling to handle these moves seamlessly even when the owner cannot be present for every step.
