This property was great as The Monaco, but is in disrepair. The restaurant is closed and all of downtown is overrun with homeless people in tents on the sidewalks.

Captive marine animals being bred for entertainment. No access to natural air or sun. Tragic. Don't support this place. Even if the owners love their seals, they should stop breeding them and put an end to this antiquated entertainment practice.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Didn't actually go inside, so it might be better than its outward appearance. Seemed small, smelly and dirty from the outside.

3/5 - Okay

Very lame. Not much to see here. Be careful around the seals when people are feeding them because it is easy to get splashed in the face with seal water.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

We were just disappointed, its pretty dark and dim in there, almost reminded me of walking into a cave, I was expecting more interesting sea creatures, or maybe they would have been more interesting if the place was all lighted up with natural lighting and big tanks rather then tiny dark, dirty looking tanks that the creatures were in, it was kind of a lot of money for us to spend to be disappointed with it. But everyone is different in what they enjoy

4.5/5(3 reviews)

Learn about the history of this favorite Oregon beach town, from its Native American residents to its thriving hotel industry.

During low tide, the shallow gradient of the beach allows the retreating water to act as a mirror, allowing the peninsula in the distance and the sky to be reflected.
