The tiny vacation destination known for its iconic coastal rock formation made the decision in March to try to keep the pandemic at bay. The choices facing Cannon Beach are emblematic of those confronting thousands of other small, tourist-dependent towns nationwide with summer looming and coronavirus restrictions lifting. They’re struggling to balance their residents’ fears of contagion with economic survival. It’s a make-or-break summer in these vacation spots — and the future is still terrifyingly unclear.
