Hot clam chowder at the beach


If you want a taste of good local food, ask the locals. They know where the good food is, not the tourist traps and fast food joints.


After talking with a couple locals, we had a unanimous recommendation to try the Chowder Bowl in historic Nye Beach. It is a lovely area with many motels and rental properties on the cliffs overlooking the expansive beach.

We had the fish tacos and the fish and chips. Our dishes came with a cup of yummy, creamy, butter-topped clam chowder, garlic bread, 3 large pieces of lightly fried cod, tasty chips, coleslaw and 3 large fish tacos! For less than $20. Eating out is not our usual routine, but it was really good.


Is it just me or do the Oregon beaches go on and on forever?

There were more people than I would expect for this time of year, but then we realized its the beginning of Spring Break in Oregon and families were taking advantage of good weather and enjoying every moment.

This is looking north from Nye Beach and Yaquina Lighthouse is in the distance. We climbed to the top of the lighthouse in 2008.
