- K W1 contributionWeather was spotty, crabbing wasn’t great. We brought in 7 but only one keeper. The staff were great. Both the lady working inside and the crab cooker/ cleaner. Very helpful and friendly. I had inquired about the clams and while cleaning my crab, he cooked up a few to try.

- Ika JSanta Barbara9 contributionsGreen and more green. A wonderful easy hike/walk on a boardwalk, through lush ferns and trees. I recommend this as a nice break for a weary traveler or for parents to get their bored kids out of the car to breath in natureWritten June 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Nocilantro52Oregon City, OR471 contributionsThere are tons of stores on the Oregon Coast, so it has to be interesting to stand out. And that can be said of Flamingo Jim's!

- Vicki H18 contributionsThis was one of the best glass places we have been to so far, we stop at 1 every trip. Both kids did their own items. He was super patient with them 11 and 13 years old. lots of seating to watch them good safety procedures too. Took few days to catch him open again to pu items but we where there for 10 days and hes right on hwy. Does need better parking but I dont think he can do anything about that.
