Ocean Shores
2024/5/12 Edited to

... Read moreHey everyone! I just got back from an amazing trip to Ocean Shores, Washington, and I absolutely had to share some of my favorite finds and activities with you all. This coastal gem in the #PNW is perfect for a weekend getaway, and I found a spot that's a must-visit for unique souvenirs: Sharkies! Sharkies isn't just any gift shop; it's practically an Ocean Shores landmark! If you're looking for an 'Ocean Shores shark store,' this is definitely the place to check out. You'll find everything from quirky shark-themed souvenirs and beach decor to unique local crafts and apparel. I spent ages browsing all the cool stuff – it's the perfect place to grab a memento from your trip or find a gift for someone back home. Every time I visit, I find something new and exciting to take home, making it one of my favorite quick 'activities in Ocean Shores' just to wander through. But Ocean Shores is so much more than just awesome shops like Sharkies. After you've picked up your treasures, there are so many incredible 'things to do in Ocean Shores' that will make your trip unforgettable. My absolute favorite activity was spending time on the expansive beaches. Whether it's flying a kite, looking for sand dollars, or even trying your hand at clamming (always check seasons and regulations!), the beach offers endless fun. You can even rent a moped or a surrey bike and cruise the sand, which is a total blast! For nature lovers, Damon Point is a fantastic spot for birdwatching and finding unique shells. We saw so many different species of birds, and the views of the ocean are just stunning. It’s a peaceful escape and a great way to experience the natural beauty of the area. If you're traveling with family, there are plenty of classic seaside attractions like mini-golf courses, arcades, and even a carousel to keep everyone entertained. We spent an afternoon playing games, and it was a blast! And don't forget the food! Ocean Shores has some fantastic seafood restaurants where you can enjoy fresh catch. Nothing beats a warm bowl of clam chowder after a brisk walk on the beach. It’s the perfect way to refuel before heading out for more adventures. Here are a few quick tips for your Ocean Shores adventure: Dress in layers, as the weather can change quickly. Bring sturdy shoes for beach walks. And definitely carve out time to explore the unique shops, especially Sharkies, for those one-of-a-kind finds! Overall, Ocean Shores offers a fantastic mix of relaxation and adventure, and places like Sharkies add to its charm. It's truly one of my favorite places to visit in the #PNW. Hope this helps you plan your next getaway!

A mesmerizing night scene of ocean waves glowing with vibrant blue bioluminescence as they crash onto a dark shore. The sparkling water creates a magical "sapphire shores" effect, with hints of golden light reflecting in the distance.

Dox Grill House 📍St. Clair Shores, MI
Finally tried DOX Grillhouse and I will be back! It had a lively and fun energy and I bet it would be super fun on a game day. The establishment had a patio and a nice roof top deck. I think it’s worth going if you live in the area and want a comfortable setting without having to go downtown Detr

Parlor Doughnuts 📍St. Clair Shores
I did not realize Parlor Soughnuts was a franchise! If you had then, how did you like them? Overall, I was pleased with my order and will be back! I’m not a donut person, but I really enjoyed their donuts as they’re more of a cronut and less yeasty. The donuts are packed with unique flavors.
