Kelly's Brighton Marina, Rockaway Beach

This place was so much fun!! We are tourists and know absolutely nothing about crabbing. The staff took a good amount of time to explain everything and answered all our questions. We definitely will try the raw chicken approach for the bait next time as the crabs seemed to enjoy that more than the raw fish option. The people were awesome and we had just the best time doing something new and exciting!

FUN. This stop was one of my favorite during our vacation in Oregon. It was so simple and so enjoyable I will return. We were literally crabbing within 20 minutes of parking the car - we entered the store and Colin and Shirlee were gracious and patient as they explained the how to catch crabs. We bought our licenses, picked up our baited pots and within 30 minutes were hauling crab in on the dock. So enjoyable. We crabbed for 2 hours and likely caught between 75 and 100 crabs. We kept 3 which we took back to shore where the team confirmed they were legal catches, and within 20 minutes they were steamed. The store sells a variety of beverages including beer and hard seltzer, butter and a variety of other optional gear for crabbing or oysters. We bought butter and drinks. Kelly's provides crackers, napkins, knives and forks. The lunch was awesome - enjoying the catch from earlier that morning. Again, Very Fun, Affordable and Professional. Highly recommended!
