Cool Beach Towns In Oregon Two

Still in Lincoln City, on the Oregon Coast, walking down Highway 101 in the early morning while it's pouring down rain. Had the old reliable point and shoot Canon Elph 300 HS with me.

Here are the first two posts: Lincoln City (link) Lincoln City Two (link).

Most of the shots here are random...except for Barnacle Bill's and Deli 101.

Barnacle Bill's is an old staple in Lincoln City...home of a great seafood market...like they have fresh dungeness crab. As long as I can remember and, I'm an old duffer, it's been around. I'm sure it's changed hands a half a dozen times, though.

As far as I know Deli 101 (link) is fairly new, as compared to Barnacle Bill's. I'm going to give the deli a plug.

My wife and I decided to get a deli sandwich to go. Well, there are deli sandwiches and, then there are deli sandwiches. I ordered the "Taby"...it is: turkey breast, avocado, bacon, tomato, cheese, onion. It was a "Bet you can't eat it all!" type sandwich. Actually, a two meal deal and reasonably priced.

My bride ordered the Tarragon Chicken Salad Sandwich and she had to tell him to leave off some of the chicken salad because it was so big. I had my USMC cap on and he gave us a veteran's discount on top of it all. 

Enjoy the pics!

Lincoln City Two

OK! More pics from Lincoln City, Oregon. If you missed the last post here it is: Lincoln City (link).

As I stated in the first post, Lincoln City is a culmination of six beach towns, back-to-back. It is a very popular vacation spot on the Oregon Coast with lots of hotels, motels and rental homes to choose from, if you decide to visit. Many places allow pets.

Weather-wise it isn't exactly Hawaii during the winter months so, you can get some really good deals on lodging. The beaches are nice and there is some excellent surf fishing on the north beaches for perch.

The first pic was taken real early in the A.M. and, it was raining. Ooh, yeah rain in Oregon is rare! It is of the "Seven Gables" on Highway 101 built in 1922.

The third photo is of a mural on a side of a building on 101. Two are random shots when walking down 101 except the "Dory Cove". If you like seafood, it's the place to go in Lincoln City.

Lincoln City

If you have been reading my posts in the last couple days, we are on the Oregon Coast heading north from Depoe Bay (link) to Salishan (link). And, now we are in Lincoln City.

Lincoln City is really a culmination of six adjoining towns. It is a popular spot because of its proximity to Salem...and, I would guess: Tigard, Tualatin, McMinnville, Newberg, Beaverton and Portland, Oregon.

We stayed at the Shearwater Inn. It's is reasonably priced, well maintained and, they take puppy dogs...remember: "Dogs Rule!"

The hotel is right on the world shortest river (first photo)...the "D River". When I say it is short, it is "short"!

Among other things, the Shearwater brings a very nice and quality continental breakfast to your room, free of charge, plus, there is a free wine bar, hor dourves served in the evening for an hour. How cool is all of that?

Off to the right of D River is "Kylos's". We had lunch there one day. It's okay, but way overpriced...right on the beach...everything is a la carte...highlight it for the unsuspecting tourist.

Other than the Shearwater, we ate at three places in Lincoln City...the "60's Cafe" located in the "Lighthouse Square" in the north part of town, the "Dory Cove" and the "Deli 101" (will talk about this place in a later post).

The 60's Cafe is just that,  a throwback to the sixties...Hey, old fashioned creamy and thick milkshakes. Great hamburgers, hot dogs, fries and a well decorated, nostalgic atmosphere.

But, if you are looking for the best seafood in town, try the Dory Cove (link). It's kind of a hard place to find if your aren't familiar with the town and, getting in and out of the parking lot sucks but, the clam chowder is to die for...and, did I say it was "thick and creamy"!

We ordered the large bowl. OK! There is the cup, the bowl and then there is the "Large Bowl"! The latter is for "real boys and girls".

Some of the photo here were converted to High Dynamic Range or HDR Photography. Enjoy!
