It was a busy place, and keeps later hours than the salt water taffy place down the block, lucky for me. It's a fairly large store with all kinds of sweets and ice cream. I got a bag of taffy for my mom and then also one as a gift, just an assortment I picked out. From the large selection (I think at least 50 flavors). I also got some fudge (my mom's got a sweet tooth!) for our group of nine visiting to share. They had divinity, an old-fashioned confection of which my mother is quite fond so I picked up some of that, as well as some dark chocolate sea salt and some rocky road. They give free samples and I got a taste of the dark chocolate sea salt--heavenly. I only interacted with one staff member but she was helpful. The parking is street only.

The nostalgia of so many different varieties of candy from our childhood brings a smile to our face. We're literally running around the store saying "oh my gosh look at this" or "did you see this?" It's always a fun experience. They have homemade fudge , a variety of chocolates and different twinkies. Family favorite are the great candy apples made in house. They also serve up icecream with housemade waffle cones. Your sweet tooth will definitely be satisfied!

I believe it's around 8.99$ a pound. It does smell kinda bad in here and isn't the most clean. They do give you coupons when you spin the wheel which is fun. Employees are nice.

My family got the cookie dough, cotton candy (childhood favorite), and the wild mountain blackberry. We all enjoyed our cones and talked about how we would be returning every time we visit Seaside. The ice cream was good but the highlight of this experience was the lady helping us out. She was extremely kind and even gave us a little extra on each cone! Definitely give this place a shot!

This store will get you into the Holiday spirit. They're located next to the Twisted Fish restaurant on Broadway. Picked up a couple ornaments and a Christmas topper.

My husband found me this treasure at Tiptons.

Bell Buoy of Seaside

There are certain places on the Oregon Coast that just feel legendary the second you walk through…read morethe door, and Bell Buoy of Seaside is absolutely one of them. The smell of smoked salmon hits you like a warm coastal memory before you even know what you're ordering. Not only do they have smoked salmon, crab, oysters, and just about every fish imaginable, but that smoked ahi tuna dip might honestly be one of the greatest snack inventions known to mankind. Throw it on chips, make a sandwich out of it, eat it straight with a spoon like a wild animal, it does not matter. It is incredible. What I love about this place is it feels authentic. Not some polished tourist trap trying too hard. This place has history in the walls. Bell Buoy has been around since 1946 and is one of the last remaining canneries on the Oregon Coast, still smoking and canning seafood in house with vintage equipment that somehow still hums along decades later. (Bell Buoy) You can taste that tradition the second you bite into anything they make. Everything in there just screams Oregon Coast excellence. Fresh crab, wild salmon, smoked fish, seafood stacked everywhere like a treasure chest from the Pacific Ocean. You walk in thinking you'll buy one little thing and suddenly you're walking out carrying enough seafood to feed a fishing village. No regrets whatsoever. The people working there were friendly, the products were amazing, and honestly it just made the whole day better. Places like this are why road trips to Seaside are dangerous for your wallet but great for your soul. I was stoked to leave with something that tasted that good. Absolute treat from start to finish. If you are anywhere near Seaside and you skip Bell Buoy, you are doing the Oregon Coast wrong. Five stars without hesitation.

Not a lot of sitting inside, but quite a bit outside. Service was friendly and fast, no complaints. The only thing that was not that great was the coleslaw. No flavor except for cabbage, I did like the pineapple in it though.

Every coastal town has the obligatory shop(s) filled with all things beachy - shells, mermaids, sea…read moreturtles, starfish, signs with slogans, lighthouses - but few rise above the level of cheap & tacky. Shorelines NW manages to be a touristy shop while providing a much better customer experience. The store is very large and well lit, the aisles are wide so you can wander and linger without feeling like you are stuck in an elevator with tons of people. Items are organized so if you aren't interested in children's toys you don't even have to walk to that area of the store. Interested in shells? Against the side wall are bins filled with shells of various shapes, types and colors. There is plenty of room to take it all in and make your selections. My grandmother always collected small shells and made jewelry with them so I spent a lot of time in this area and was happy to have the section all to myself! Of course they have the obligatory tie-dye which somehow has become synonymous with the beach, but their offerings were a step above other tie dye sweatshirts I've seen. The light blue & white was particularly nice, subtle, not too in your face. Mermaids and the beach also go hand & hand and at Shoreline, there are Mermaids of every skin tone and hair color so little girls can see themselves. Well done! They have a nice selection of affordable fashion jewelry, some in sterling, and of course many feature shells, sand dollars, flip-flops and other beachy items. Even though I'm not a tourist, I enjoy walking through the shop and looking at all of the offerings, often making a purchase.
