Happy Summer BeachBums!! The last beach stop on my trip was Port Townsend’s “Glass Beach” which I discovered when researching the area and came across this video. He shows finding so many cool pieces that I just HAD to make this a stop. This area, much like the first Glass Beach I visited on […]
What a pretty beach cover-up – just what you need to throw on over a swimsuit when headed to the beach or pool. In a cotton gauze, it comes in 20 colours, including my favourite – turquoise! Find it here: http://tidd.ly/c7c73001
LoVe this little sign!!! In the words of Bob Marley – Every little thing is gonna be alright! Very timely words for me at the moment, how about you? (And anything with palm trees makes me feel alright!!) find it here: http://tidd.ly/75e36c7b
Welcome all you BeachBums!! The beach at Ocean Shores is huge. The sand is much harder packed than the other beaches I have seen thus far, so lots of vehicles drive up past the high tide line, and they are dwarfed by the sheer size of the beach – it is miles long but also […]
Hello BeachBums! Long Beach is located on Long Beach Peninsula just over the border from Astoria Oregon – speaking of which; the Astoria Bridge (formally known as the Astoria-Megler Bridge) is CRAZY! First off, I think it is the tallest bridge I’ve ever seen, secondly it has a wicked steep hill off the west side […]
Happy Day, BeachBums! Cannon Beach. What a lovely little town with a gorgeous beach, and the first place where there was no wind to speak of – well not so that it was unpleasant! YAY! Again, it is a long beach and very wide. There were a lot of people at this beach, way more […]
Seashells! This pillow cover is so perfect for the beachy home! Simple, elegant, and the perfect colour – although if you’d prefer a different colour, there are forty five(!!) to choose from. Imagine instantly adding a focal point in your room with a unique accent pillow cover or mixing and matching several to create a […]
Hi BeachBums! Here are some of the ways I display my beach treasures. Maybe they will inspire you to get yours out of the drawer and into the sunlight! The bottles holding the sand are from IKEA and are $1 each. The tags are from Michaels and come in a package of 10 for about […]
What a beautiful accent piece! Talk about bringing the beach to your home….named Table Coral, each branch of the coral has rough edges resembling tiny trees in a forest! The bottom of the coral is cut so it sits very nicely. This stunning piece of coral would bring an exotic look to any home – […]
Hey y’all, BeachBums! So I was tootling along, the shadows growing long, and I saw a sign on the 101 for a cutoff to a place called Pacific City. Not sure why, but my curiosity was instantly piqued and I felt compelled to go take a look so I pulled off and took the short […]
Hey BeachBums! So I was really looking forward to visiting Agate Beach because I have just become interested in collecting agates after finding a few in Crescent City at Kellogg Beach and reading up on them. So a trip to this beach was a must-do! Well, let me tell you – this beach is something […]
Hi Again, BeachBums! As I was continuing along the 101, jamming to some newly discovered Tropical House beats, I spied a narrow turn-off with a sign “Stonefield Beach”. The name intrigued me so I pulled a fast left into a tiny parking area that was almost full of cars – like 6 cars. Every car […]
Hi BeachBums! I spent the night in Florence at a wonderful Inn. I will create a separate post, when the trip is over, detailing where I stayed in each location, with a review. Once I got back on the road, I stopped at Heceta Beach. I took the scenic route to this beach, and […]
Helloooo BeachBums! Driving from Crescent City to Florence was spectacular. Beach after beach after beach all along the way. There were too many to stop at but I did manage a few on the way. The first one was to eat lunch overlooking a magnificent view. I don’t know the name of the beach but […]
Perfect for hauling all that stuff you need for a great day at the beach – this is the cart I wish I had bought (the tires on my cart are not up to the soft sand). Folds down to only 10″ thick and has a storage case to keep it all neat and tidy […]

Howdy, BeachBums! Crescent City has a huge beach, right on the 101 that everyone goes to. I went there and it’s lovely, don’t get me wrong… but I was looking for something else, something different. A bit off the beaten track. So I did a quick search online and found what I was looking for […]
Hey all BeachBums! So before I left Ft.Bragg for northern beaches, I had two stops I wanted to make. The first was at the Sea Glass Gallery and Museum which is south on the Hwy about 5 min. The place is owned and operated by a grizzly curmudgeon of a man, Capt. Cass Forrington. […]
Good day, BeachBums!! Another day, another beach! This beach is easy to find, just look for the huge trestle that crosses it as you head north out of town – there is a left-turn lane off the 101. It is not a very wide beach, insofar as beaches go on this coast, but it is […]
Oh how I LOVE this wave ring!! So simple and elegant. This is a must have for any beachbum! Made from 1 mm .925 sterling silver it comes in adjustable or fixed size. Also available in 14k rose gold, and 14k gold filled. You can even get creative with them and put the whole ocean […]
Hi there BeachBums! After two long days on the road, I arrived in Ft.Bragg CA to kick off this beach hopping trip with a visit to Glass Beach. WOW! It did not disappoint. There is glass everywhere, making up almost half of the beach. The most common color is clear which has been buffeted to […]
