Nelsott Cafe

Nelscott Cafe is a cozy restaurant in the Nelscott district of Lincoln City known for their hamburgers. On Fridays they have $5 hamburgers. If you have a hankering for stuffed French toast like I did, be sure and get here before 11 AM when they quit making it.


Our kids really enjoyed eating here. Around the windows are lots of games. Our kids had fun playing war and Old Maid while we were there.
 
Here’s pictures of the delicious food we tried, breakfast burrito, almond French toast, and a hamburger with fried pickles.
 
Can you guess which meal was the most expensive? It was the $10 breakfast burrito.

Undersea Gardens – Newport, OR

The Undersea Gardens in Newport, Oregon is not worth the money if you are paying full price. If you can get a discount then go for it. I got a daily deal that got us into Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Wax Words, and the Undersea Garden. If I had paid full price I would have been upset.

•   The Undersea Garden is one room with windows showing local fish. It is very dark in there and it’s moving, 
• If your prone to motion sickness then you are probably going to feel sick when you leave here. 
• A few times a day they offer a show. Only go during times that they are doing a show, otherwise you’ll be done in 10 minutes.

During the show you will get to see an octopus, a sunflower starfish, and an eel. Some one in a scuba outfit goes down and picks them up and swims back and forth along the windows with them.

Devil’s Punchbowl State Park

Devil’s Punchbowl State Park is in between Newport, OR and Lincoln City. There is no admission to get into the park.

There’s an easy path along the cliff with breathtaking views. We were told this is a great place to spot whales, but we never saw one. There’s also picnic tables in the park and a small winery, The Flying Dutchman Winery.
