If you're spending any time at all in Ocean Shores, you should be sure to stop in at the Coastal Interpretive Center. Staffed by knowledgeable volunteers, the Center is a mini natural history museum, its rooms filled with specimens of the local wildlife. Here you will learn about the mammals, birds, insects and also shells, rocks and geological formations of the peninsula. There's a good exhibit on the Quinault Nation as well. It doesn't take a lot of time to tour the Center, but it's worth it - you will be so much more informed as you go out beach combing afterwards.

Elk Head Brewery

Reviewed By SouthEndMCgang - Seattle, United States

This taproom is certainly worth the search. Located in the back lot of a small strip mall just kitty corner from the Ocean Shores Convention Center is this small/tidy taproom with a FULL POUR of several brews we tested several but landed on an yummy IPA. Free baskets of pretzels and cheap peanuts and other savory snacks to clean the palate. You have got to try the Jalapeno...but you had better match it with another selection to douse the flames. Funky place...now you know what the locals know.

Buddy and Howie's Candy

Reviewed By KarenMc6

I visit Buddy And Howies about once a month to buy taffy for coworkers when I am in Ocean Shores. I live over 100 miles away, but choose to buy my taffy there The people there are always helpful and friendly, particularly Melanie, who truly goes out of her way to help customers. I look forward to my visits to their candy store. A coworker, Joyce S wrote a bad review last month. She said she was sent there by me, her work friend. Joyce is not my friend, and I would never send her to buy taffy for me. She was demanding and confrontational while shopping in the store, and was very rude to the people working there. She came to work the next day laughing about her experience in the store and bragging about her rude comments to them. I believe that they were professional and polite to a generally mean, rude woman. Please try this store. Their candy selection is amazing and the people who work there are truly wonderful .

First Cabin

Gift shop with Jewelry, Nautical, Marbles, Rocks, Crystal skulls, purses, LGBTQ stuff and Home decor.

Reviewed By LoryGene54 - Ocean Shores, United States

First Cabin is in a new location!! The best gift shop in Ocean Shores has moved a few blocks down the street and is now located in a free standing building that is part of the Sea Ray Plaza sharing a parking lot with The Eagles and Our Place restaurant (among a few others). Same high quality gifts and jewelry - truly a joy to shop! The shop has an ample parking lot and even has some RV friendly parking along Ocean Shores Blvd. Hubby bought my Christmas present there - love this shop!!
