The 7 Best Marinas in Oregon Coast, Oregon Coast
The Southern Oregon coast is home to isolated beaches, rugged cliffs with breathtaking views of the Pacific and quaint seaside towns. If you stay in the Bay Area, go whale watching at Coos Bay or explore the region on a bike or a hike along the coastline. Antique shoppers will want to explore old town Bandon while golfers hit the links at the world-renowned Bandon Dunes golf course. And don’t forget to bring your fishing gear – you’ll want to cast for salmon and other Pacific Northwest fish at Gold Beach, one of the region’s top fishing spots.
The Central Oregon Coast is a great place for fishing, clamming, hiking, golfing and other outdoor activities. Take the kids and visit the Sea Lion Caves near Florence, the world’s largest. Head up to Newport for a view of the state’s second-tallest lighthouse and shopping in this seaside town popular with vacationers for the last century. Go fly a kite on the beach in Lincoln City, kite capital of the world.
The Northern Oregon Coast offers a relaxing way to enjoy the region. A stay in the scenic town of Astoria on the Washington border will allow you to explore the western edge of the Lewis and Clark trail, with views of the Columbia River and the Pacific. Walk the sandy beaches in Seaside and Cannon Beach and then grab saltwater taffy and other treats while shopping these seaside towns.

When we arrived we were confused. The gent at the crab pot said this wasn't a restaurant (we thought the building a little bit away was). There's a board that states the prices of crabs, oysters, etc. If you want to eat there, they will provide paper plates, napkins, utensils, and hot sauce. You may buy melted butter, cocktail sauce, lemons, drinks, etc. at the store. You also pay for your seafood there. The person at the crab pots puts your name on a white board with the time your order will be ready. There are only outdoor picnic tables. It was a beautiful day so we were able to eat outdoors while watching people crabbing on the piers, and the birds fishing. The cats are really friendly. When our order was ready, our name was called and everything was served in a large stainless steel pan (like the ones caters use to keep food warm). It was great! We ordered 2 dungeness crabs, and dozen oysters (they steam them, don't serve them raw). They were the sweetest crabs I've had in a while. The oysters were perfect. We ended up ordering another dozen after we finish the first order. They will rent you crabbing gear, and give you instructions on what to do. They also rent boats. I think they have a campground too. There were only 2 people working. Both were friendly, and helpful. I'll go back the next time I'm up that way.

We visited this place based on other reviews and full-heartedly agree that this is one of the local gems. The perfectly fresh sea food is picked from and cooked in sea water right in front of you! The lingering taste of the best oysters we’ve ever had, combined with the smell of sea, and burning wood stayed with us through the evening. Worth a visit!
