Today was a picture perfect day here at Bullards Beach State Park and surrounding areas. It stopped raining, the sun came out for a visit, and blessed us with blue skies…
Well, when that happens, it didn’t take long for Bill and I to get the “big picture”, and take advantage of every beautiful day we have here, especially when one falls on our day’s off…
So off we went, to visit the lovely, quaint, little town of Florence, Oregon.
We are on a quest to sample clam chowder, and fish and chips, from various areas along the Oregon coast while we are here. Last week we had some folks come into the lighthouse while we were working our shift, and they told us if you want “really good claim chowder” you must go to Mo’s, in Florence.. Well OK… Mo’s it is…
Both Bill and I had the fish & chips that came with a cup of clam chowder.
In all honesty, it was just OK. Both Bill and I agree, that so far… (and we have only been here 17 days), Captain Jack’s Crab Shack in Charleston, has the best clam chowder, and Bandon Fish Market, has the best fish and chips… But, hey we still have six weeks to explore many more good seafood eats in and around Bullards Beach State Park.. 🙂
Lunch didn’t meet our expectations, but it was well worth the beautiful drive to visit this pretty little town.
Stay tuned!

The trip was great, and yes, the chowder at captain Jacks was creamier. The fish at Mo’s was slightly overdone, and a little dry. Still we had a good time.
