Annual Seafood Event is an Oregon Coast Tradition!
The annual Charleston Crab Feed is one of our favorite traditions- and it is hard to believe this event is in their 26th year! This is an unique opportunity to feast on Fresh Dungeness Crab Dinners, whole or half crabs for just $15 &$9, (includes beans, salad, bread and beverage).
This event draws over 1000 people each year for the great food and unique atmosphere (thanks to the “Wild Women of Charleston”) in the Old Charleston School House.
The 26th Annual Charleston Crab Feed is February 12, 2011 from 11am- 4pm in the Old Schoolhouse on Seven Devils road, just off Cape Arago Hwy. All proceeds help support the Charleston Visitor Center. For more information, call Mel Campbell at 541-888-4875 or the Coos Bay Visitor Center at 541-269-0215
If you want to make a day of it- we think you will enjoy checking out Charleston Harbor- a bustling marina serving charter boat operators, sports fishermen, crabbers and recreational boaters. The harbor offers wonderful views & a variety of shops/restaurants.
You could also treat yourself to a wine and chocolate tasting at Charleytown Market which is located right by the bridge. This is a really great shop that specializes in all things Oregon coast. Browsing through there is always a treat and with wine and chocolate you really can’t go wrong.
IF the weather is rainy, head over to Shore Acres State Park and watch from the safety of the storm watching hut, you’ll get amazing photo ops of the famous crashing waves and you’ll never again question why anyone would go stormwatching. If it’s a clear day, check out Cape Arago State Park. Its located at the end of the loop of Cape Arago Hwy and there’s a small trailhead that leads down to the beach. There’s hardly ever anyone there and you’ll be blown away by the beauty as you walk down the trail.
