A BRIEF HISTORY OF BREAKERS POINT CONDOMINIUMS
Breakers Point began in the 1960s as a developer's dream to create a rare and beautiful oceanfront community on the rugged North Oregon coast. That dream became a reality upon the completion of 5th phase in 1982. There are many homeowners that are original owners and some have passed their units on to the next generations, ensuring that Breakers Point continues to be an important part in the lives of their multi-generational families.

Besides all of the natural beauty, one of the visual highlights on the property is an original piece of wire sculpture artwork. Lewis, Clark, Sacajawea and trapper Charbonneau are shown gazing West to the Pacific Ocean. It is located in the traffic circle at the west end of 5th street.

Many people take memorable photos at this location. Anyone who visits will enjoy one of the most recognizable views of Haystack Rock rising above the dunes.
THE WASTE WATER PUMP STATION at the corner of Hemlock and 5th Street was added as part of the development in order to accommodate 70 units. This pump station did not only benefit the development of Breakers Point. Until it was fully functional, there was a moratorium on building anywhere on the North end of Cannon Beach. The pump station made it possible to continue to develop the North neighborhood of Cannon Beach.
5th STREET SIDEWALKS AND CURBS were added as part of the development to create safe pedestrian access to the beach. Breakers Point maintains the beach access trail from 5th street which includes access for emergency vehicles to reach beaches North of Ecola creek quickly.
KEEPING BREAKERS POINT SHIP SHAPE takes a lot of work and planning. In early 2008 planning began for a major structural renovation and was completed in 2011. This $4M renovation included: hurricane-rated windows, concrete Hardi-plank siding, rain screen, exterior paint, roofing, landscape and repair of other structural elements. This project significantly reduced the yearly maintenance costs. In 2015, the Family Room was remodeled and is not only beautiful, but has added functionality for many types of activities. In 2017, the indoor pool was refinished, and decks and walkways will be refreshed. Currently in the planning phase is the refurbishment of the downstairs areas in the Clubhouse.
