Very interesting to watch. The attached gallery with glass for sale has something for every taste and budget. Well worth stopping for a quality memento or to purchase a special gift. They do custom work as well. Be sure to look up at the stunning hanging lights. Plenty of parking behind the free studio.

Prehistoric specializes in the worlds finest fossils, minerals, and meteorites.. Come face to face with our animatronic baby trex as it comes to life. Break your own geode machine and a large kids educational toy area. Price ranges from 1 dollar to millions of dollars. We have spared no expense to offer an experience that is so totally different from your normal rock shop. All of our pocket stones are hand polished to give a higher polish and more natural shape. Our fossils are all originals from all over the world. Many clients stumble with what to call this wonderful place... Store, Gallery, Museum.. Well it is all of those things and more. Prehistoric also takes great pride in offering free classes and donations to schools all over the country. We have in our first 4 months of business reached over 500 students and children. We are very proud to be a part of this community..

Our stop at Prehistoric was sort of a impulse stop, one of those lets's stop and see what they have kind of stop. They do have an interesting collection of items for sale and if you're in the market for stones or fossils, then a stop here might be worthwhile. They do have an interesting thunder egg cracker/opener that opens thunder eggs that you purchase. It's a novel idea to be sure and if you're short on time and don't want to head up into the mountains to do your own thunder egg hunting, it could be a great way to experience the beauty of a thunder egg without the work of digging your own.

HANDMADE IN THE NORTHWEST. Mossy Creek Pottery was founded in 1973 on six acres bordering the beautiful Siletz Bay Wildlife Refuge. Located just one scenic half-mile off U.S. Highway 101, the near century-old farmhouse is easily found as you travel on Immonen Road through a forest of spruce and hemlock. This hidden gem is home to the work of 40 Northwest artists. Inside you'll find a wide assortment of functional and decorative pottery in an array of glazes, representing the many and varied styles and techniques of our local and regional potters. Discover a little treasure for yourself or find a gift for someone special. There's something at Mossy Creek for every taste and any budget.

We have a little weekend beach house in Neskowin, and like to let our dog run on the beach at Fogarty Creek beach. Mossy Creek is right on the way, and my wife likes to drop in. We're probably there once a month. It is about a one minute drive off of highway 101 near Salishan Resort. It's well worth dropping in. It's a cute little gallery. They feature the works of several local potters, most of whom are quite talented. They have a nice variety of both styles, and categories. The offerings range from the usual coffee mugs and platters, to very artistic sushi plates, and matched pottery sets, to purely decorative pieces, both freestanding and wall hanging. We've purchased several pieces, both decorative and utilitarian, for our beach cottage. Even if we don't buy, it's pleasant and relaxing to just stop in a browse. The staff are unobtrusive, but very pleasant and helpful if needed. I'm a complete philistine, and even I enjoy the place.

Boiler Bay has a wonderful view of the ocean and while we were there we were lucky enough to see a whale that looked like it was rolling on it's side, which was so awesome to see. Make sure that you bring your binoculars to watch for the whales and also your cameras
We spent about 20 minutes watching the ocean and looking for whales which we were told that there is a pod of whales that are staying around the Depoe Bay area.

Karen, the owner of this wonderful shop, has created a haven for women to get bright and subtle apparel, with great taste and wonderful fit. She and her knowledgeable staff help women of all ages and sizes to assemble outfits that flatter and are easy to wear. Their specialty is helping women with curves who may not always dress with a flair, because they don't have the choices available and assistance in accessorizing.
The shoppe carries much more than sweaters, and has a great collection of hats and watches.
Located just south of Lincoln Cit, it is a wonderful place to stop and luxuriate in the abundance of great clothing styles and colors that bring joy to our lives.

This place is a bit off the beaten track but well worth the slight inconvenience of getting here. The glass blower/owner does his work within arms length and explains all the steps he is taking in detail. It was a marvelous experience. Needless to say we stocked up on some really unique blown glass products. It was worth the cost of admission, especially since it is FREE!!

This scenic beach has everything and can be reached from the northern end of Lincoln City off of 101 (drive past the Casino). The parking lot is paved and less than 50 feet from the beach so there isn't much of a steep descent. Sand is soft, clean, and the entire beach invites long walks.

This little garden is in a quiet residential neighborhood with limited access/parking. Do not attempt to visit with a motorhome...
Connie was an avid gardener and it shows as you walk along the pathways and enjoy the little vignettes. Donations are accepted for the maintenance & upkeep. Loved this little gem of a place!

Just a step off of the highway is a great place to see the history of life a hundred years ago. Lots of what is it items with a little book to give you a free guided answers through the place. It is well worth your time to stretch you legs. It has two very clean bathrooms with an elevator for those who need it. It is the best find in Lincoln City in a long time.

The annual Kite Festival is worth attending for a few hours to see some very skilled performers demonstrate their kite flying skills. The beach area is an ideal place as the winds here have a tendency to be strong and consistent. Parking is available with restroom facilities but gets filled up fast.
