Food scene
Yum Yum Tree Cafe is where we fell in love with Ocean Shores. It has a friendly, relaxed beachside vibe. The menu includes breakfast rolls and sandwiches, great coffee and tea. There is a park across the street, markets on a Saturday morning, and the New Brighton Beach is a short walk away.
