Cannon Beach, OR

July 18, 2013
We drove to Cannon Beach but made a stop at Kelly's Brighten Marina about 15 miles from our destination. This was suggested by our neighbor Rob. He, his wife and daughter had been there earlier in the year.This place is a marina where you can rent boats to go crabbing and clamming or just order what you want fresh cooked and served. We had a hard shell Dungeness crab and a soft shell of the same and a pound of steamer clams. We have never tasted any seafood so fresh. The soft shell crab was amazing. The meat is sweeter than any crab I have tasted and there is natural butter in it. All of it was served in a large chef pan. We sat on the deck watching others crabbing in boats and from the docks. Gail went to the trailer and got butter and bread to have with the feast. After the gluttony we drove into Cannon Beach. It was sunny and very pleasant in the Cannon Beach RV Park. We had a nice evening sitting around the fire.

We awoke to clouds again. After breakfast we did some laundry and went into town. The place was teeming with tourists. We really enjoy people watching in crowds like this. The shops in town are very nice and pricey. We had a nice lunch at Bill's Tavern and went back to the park for the afternoon and evening. Up tomorrow to head to Hoquiam. Five more days on the road.
