If your interested in salmon fishing from the shore this is the place to do it! You can rent a fishing pole for the day on the spit and give it a try. Ask us about how to fish around the tides to really catch some salmon! This is dependent on the time of year and when the salmon are running.

Towards the east end of Skyline drive, before east hill road there is a look out that you can see the entire town from (next to the radio towers) On days when the cloud ceiling is low you can sometime look as if your standing on the clouds. Regardless of when you go it's a great view.

Fresh made bagels daily, this is another favorite lunch spot just a little ways out of town. Our favorites are the hot pastrami or Wasabi and lox though I will always recommend to check their specials for any delicious creations as they rarely disappoint. They also have an espresso bar for satisfying that coffee craving. Just have to recommend going earlier in the day as they sometimes sell out by 1pm if it's busy.
