Saltwater Taffy! Yeah, it was all over Cannon Beach. And I did not partake. After all, there’s pretty darn good taffy on the east coast.
Does this look familiar? Yes, the Goonies! Cannon Beach’s Haystack Rock. That’s enough 80′s movie trivia for the day.

Since I was so close to the ocean, I drove out to Cannon Beach, on Oregon’s coast. How did I pick this place? It was random. Portland is super close to the ocean, it only took maybe an hour and 15 minutes. Real close, I swear.
It’s one of those cute little adorable coastal towns, with cutesy shops and restaurants. Tons of artists, candy stores, etc. I stopped in Ecola Seafoods for a little lunch. Too bad the place sounds so much like killer bacteria.They sell seafood for you to take home, and also dine-in food. They even have their own tuna. I got a bowl of clam chowder and a shrimp salad. This shrimp salad was pretty sorry ass. It was bagged salad with probably defrosted baby shrimp on top. The clam chowder was much better. But still not great. I guess food doesn’t have to be that great when you just have tourists coming in and out. Hopefully their seafood to go is better. I think they actually catch their own fish. It’s cafeteria style here, so pick up your food and find a spot.

Well good morning! Would you like a waterfall to go along with your pastry and hot chocolate? Why yes I would!
