I went to see the sunset at Shore acres and experienced a bonus of a spectacular Christmas light display. So glad I stumbled into it.

This park takes awhile to reveal its treasures. The views are spectacular, often times with whales spouting. Above the south cove there is a plaque commemorating Sir Francis Drake's presence in the area. There is also excellent tidepooling at low tide in the south cove. The north cove can at times offer up close views of barking sea lions. Further on that trail, when not closed due to seal pups, there are excellent sea level views of the sandy island where many sea lions congregate. The tide makes a difference in the coves, so check before visiting.

I have loved Cranberry Sweets since I was a little kid. Day trips to Bandon were never complete without a trip to this fabulous candy store. ..And then they put a store in Coos Bay (oops I dated myself). This is truly one of my favorite places to take visitors, people who are new to the area and of course find gifts for every occasion. They always have a fun variety of gifts, candy and keepsakes for every season. I have even made a tradition of getting my nieces and nephews a Christmas ornament here each year.
