Stunning views and so many starfish and anemones at low tide! We came around sunset and saw a ton of surfers as well. More of a rock beach than a shell beach. From the parking area ($5 day use fee), you can follow along the trails or take the stairs down to the beach.

Delicious! Seating downstairs looked a little cramped and busy, but we had a party of 6 and dined upstairs around a larger table that was perfect for sharing. Great portions and quality, especially for the price.

The crispy shrimp with peach (also available with mango) was an interesting riff on the more common honey walnut shrimp. The wonton soup broth had a strong flavor from the green onion and made for a refreshing option between dishes. One of the overall favorite dishes was the honey black pepper chicken with bell peppers. We also loved the pig oil noodles.

The only downside to the atmosphere was the volume upstairs; loud music was playing (with karaoke videos/lyrics if you wanted to sing along too) and it was sometimes hard to hear other friends across the table. We asked for the music to be lowered a little and our secret obliged.

I'd happily return, and hopefully with a large group again so we can enjoy the extra space upstairs.

A gorgeous place to walk! Behind the hedges, you'll find a ton of native plants (and some others too). Ample butterflies, bees, and birds. It's inspiring to surround yourself in all the greenery in the middle of the city.

A great little lighthouse with interesting architectural details. The park around it is nice for walking and had a good crowd of dogs, group yoga, families taking a stroll, and more.

Incredible! Easily one of our favorite breakfasts in Portland. My mom was raving about the breakfast sausage for days after our visit. We both loved the maple iced tea and waffles. Be prepared for a little wait (as is normal around here) but it's worth it. The chowder was also perfectly balanced and didn't skimp out on shrimp or sausage. I'd happily visit again!
