I love stopping in little gift/home decor shops, and got lucky when we happened upon one whilst…read morewandering the tourist area in Seaside. This shop doesn't have much of--or honestly, any that I could find--online presence, which seems odd but hopefully this will help spread the word. They have a lot of soaps--a significant amount of space in the store is dedicated to their French soap bar. Bar or liquid soap in a dizzying amount of scents. There are candles from the same brand. They have housewares, like decorate items, storage vessels, placemats, and so on. There is artwork for sale--just look up so you don't miss it! They have cards, and books... and then other little nicknacks hidden around the store as well. I bought as a gift for a friend a sand dollar from a fairly local artist, who with her niece decorates sand dollars they've collected on their trips to the beach. It's worth noting that the store is not accessible, as there's a step up and so folks in wheelchairs won't be able to enter. The employee (owner?) was friendly. Not a lot of parking right near the store (perhaps a bit on the street) but there's a public lot a couple blocks away, since this is the main shopping and tourist area in Seaside.

I look forward every beach trip to Seaside so I can treat myself to something pretty. The purveyor is delightful and so knowledgeable about the items and can help you choose something perfect for yourself or someone else. Don't forget to say hi to their new family member- an adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Ozzy who loves people!

Along with featuring locally made items they have an amazing selection of fair trade products including clothing and jewelry and home decor and lots of little fun things as well...even food and yes, really cool Christmas ornaments! so nice to have a place like this on the North Coast and I can't wait to go back.

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.

Something for everyone and across all price ranges. Take your time and explore every nook and cranny! The clothing has vibrant prints but at the same time, they feel neutral. The summer skirts, pants and tops are airy and billowy while the winter sweaters, capes and tops are cozy and warm. Lots and lots of hats and scarves for the cold weather. And gorgeous capes made of alpaca wool; they are simply stunning and come in a variety of vibrant colors as well as neutrals. Other items: - Prayer dolls from Guatemala - Christmas Angels - Wooden elephants, giraffes, zebras, owls - Cozy sweaters from Peru - Cat figurines - Dog plagues - Candle holders - Scarves from Indonesia - Beaded necklaces, bracelets, earrings, keychains - Large assortment of patterned scarves, hats, gloves, handbags - Beach themed gifts - salmon, seahorse, starfish, shells Customer service is friendly, helpful and never pushy. They know this store is for browsing as well as shopping. There is always a sale rack of clothing in the back by the dressing room so make sure to check it out for great finds. It's always a stop on my visits to Cannon Beach to see what new treasures can be found for gifts or for myself!

Since Astoria, the oldest city in Oregon, had a large settlement of Norwegian, Swedish and Finns the influence remains and a visit to Finn Ware really transports you. The vibrant Marimekko floral shopping totes with coordinating face masks had me at hello! Such a sign of the times. They have an assortment of striped shirts in a multitude of colors that just shout Nordic. Large selection of uniquely designed dish towers and dish cloths, I wanted them all! Of course there is a Christmas section with the most charming Santa's and gnomes in traditional red and white. Even a Christmas tree draped in ornaments for sale. Lots of items with colorful fish designed items: mugs, bowls, paper napkins, dish towels, cards. Make sure to check out the various Lutefisk mugs and their funny sayings. Along one of the walls is an assortment of Finnish licorice, Nordic treats, Icelandic chocolate and saltlakrits. We picked up several items for ourselves and Nordic friends. Definitely give yourself time to walk around and check out every nook and corner, there are treasures everywhere! Wish there was a store like this in Portland.
