Tourist Guide

This shellfish farm is just off of Chuckanut Dr. The Amtrak train that runs along the PNW goes right by. You can buy oysters individually and shuck them on the spot to enjoy. The "beach" area where people enjoy the seafood is made up of empty, broken shells. Half the fun is tossing the shells on the floor!

Best baked oysters I’ve ever had, and I don’t usually like my oysters cooked! :)

This is my favorite seafood restaurant in the entire Washington state. I usually dine here after I work up a sweat doing a 7 mile hike at the Oyster Dome trail right across from the restaurant.

However, don’t let the unassuming exterior full you, it’s a nice restaurant with an amazing view of the water and the islands...quite romantic even. :)

Once a roadside oyster shack, The Oyster Bar on scenic Chuckanut drives offers an amazing selection of local and regional raw oysters and other seafood. The food is fantastic, and so is the view! #food #seafood #washington
Oysters and bubbly!  :)
If you don't already know, WA state is where most of the best oysters come from in U.S., and this restaurant is one of my favorite places for oysters as well as other seafood...

Clean, nice included breakfast. The tv remote was difficult to get the channels to change. The bathroom could use a fan as it really steamed up while taking a shower. The shower head did not have different flow settings.
