Great restaurants, views, hiking trails and not too touristy. I’ve lived in Portland for 26 years and this is my favorite beach day trip destination.

Food scene

This is my favorite restaurant in town! The owners are originally from New Orleans so very authentic Cajun and Southern inspired dishes that won’t break the bank. They have a great brunch menu as well but very popular so might be a 45 min wait on weekends.

Music

Outside patio Americana music events
My friend Ezra owns this music venue and gastro pub. If you want to see music during your stay..The Alberta Street is doing socially distanced shows on their beautiful patio but get tickets in advance because due to limited capacity most shows are selling out.
