We love clamming our little bay! We use them to make our favorites, steamed clams and clam chowder!

As if you needed additional motivation to visit us, but this is it!!!

Did you know that we drop more floats during the winter than the summer? 🔮

In the summer months of June, July and August, we drop thirty regular floats on the beach per week (not including our "special drop" dates). During the off-season months of September through May, we drop an additional twenty floats per week. That is fifty regular floats dropped per week in fall, winter and spring!

So not only are there less visitors to the beach at this time, but more floats are dropped too! That makes your chances of finding a float that much higher this winter and spring. 😉

When we bought Mermaid Cove we wanted to share our experiences with our guests and we love hearing from our guests about what they enjoyed. Part of that is sharing what we love about the Oregon Coast, the beach, and of course our favorite local businesses. We’ve talked about lots of businesses including our neighbor Melo’s Taqueria and today we had the best Birria Tacos we’ve ever had!! Very flavorful, juicy and tender and the consommé was wonderful! We will be back for more!!

Story and photos by LAUREN ZATKOS Some people who think of Oregon immediately associate it with the iconic Dungeness crab. And this makes sense; as the most profitable fishery in Oregon, the coast …

Great reminder!

How to bonfire safely 🔥 While Lincoln City currently doesn’t have any beach bonfire or campfire restrictions, those conditions can change. Be sure to check the Oregon State Parks website for current status.

In the meantime, here are some friendly reminders around bonfire safety:

✅ Beach campfires should be on open sand and away from driftwood or vegetation.

✅ Always keep an eye on your bonfire; many accidental fires are started because people left their fire unattended for “just a minute.”

✅ Maintain bonfire flames at knee height (about 2 feet high).

✅ Always keep plenty of water on hand to safely put out your bonfire.

✅ When camping, only build campfires in the existing fire ring in your campsite.

Be safe and have fun out there!

Also... when it comes to your s’mores, do you like your marshmallows lightly toasted or well done 😄

This so much fun! The perfect excuse to go play in the sand and mud with the whole family not to mention the tasty reward afterwards!

🪣 Have you ever tried clamming on the Oregon coast? Our Clamming Explorience in Lincoln City is the perfect opportunity to experience this unique seafood-harvesting activity firsthand. Our next Clamming Explorience is coming up this Friday, May 12 at 12 noon... come join us!

Guided by our local expert, you’ll travel to the mudflats of Siletz Bay at low tide. Our guide will provide an overview of Oregon’s clamming regulations, harvest methods, identification, cleaning, and cooking techniques. Armed with expert information, you'll be ready to enjoy the hunt and see how many clams you can dig up!

For clam diggers 12 years or older, bring:

✅ Shellfish license (available at locations listed below)

✅ Clam bag or bucket

✅ Shovel

✅ Gloves

NOTE: The Explorience itself is free, but materials and supplies should be purchased prior to attending. You can pick up your license at Bi-Mart, Eleanor’s Undertow or Scout Northwest Trading Co.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy PNW clams?

It’s that time of year, although super cute and interesting, please give’em plenty of space.

Harbor seals like to leave their pups on the beach, but don’t be tempted into playing with them.

Great article about crabbing along Oregon Coast! We love that we can catch them right out of our very own Siletz Bay!

It gets you outside, into the refreshing air and natural beauty of the Oregon Coast. It’s an enjoyable way to pass the time with family and friends. And if you’re lucky, it can put fresh, delectable seafood on your dinner plate. We’re talking, of course, about crabbing on the Oregon Coast.
