So much better than some galleries I have been to in the past. The owner is very cool and features local artists. The style of the shop is eclectic and vibrant. There is a lot of beach centric art but there are also many other styles and themes present. The offerings have been different each time we have been in and the store never disappoints. If you are looking for a new piece of art or something unique to memorialize your trip to the ocean, this is the place for you.

In 1987, the theatre was successfully listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The interior of the theatre itself is a glorious example of an "atmospheric" theatre. Instead of the bland curtain covered walls of modern theatres, here, you are transported through architectural elements and ornamentation to a Spanish courtyard under an evening sky. Periodically, the theatre presents classic movies. I was able to attend a showing of The Goonies, and while I already have this in my personal movie collection, getting the chance to see it once again on the big screen for the first time since 1985 was too tempting to pass up..."Goonies Never Say Die!" There are fewer than 50 Atmospheric Theatres left in the entire world. If you ever get a chance to attend a movie or live performance at this one, do yourself a favor and go to the show!

Well we finally decided to stop and visit and we were glad we did. It was one of those "why have we never done this before?" kinda moments. It's not big by any stretch, though we were told that they would be expanding in the near future. Will definitely come back once they have. There is no entrance fee, only a sign in book and request for a donation, but it's only a request...that you should definitely donate to. Anyways despite the size, there is much to explore and loads of history about the area that you might or might not have known. It's also a beach comber's haven, the collection of stuff found on the local beaches is super fascinating! The volunteer working there was very knowledgeable and she was able to answer any questions or provide information about anything that was on display or the history of the area. One of the more interesting things to me was the debris that washed up all the way from Japan during the tsunami over a decade ago. They also provide a little gift shop area to bring home any keep sakes or mementos of your visit. So the next time you are on the 109 between Moclips and Pacific Beach and you spot the Museum of the North Beach, stop in and look around. You might even learn something you did not know.

I…read morewas devastated to say the least and I wanted something special made with some of his ashes that would bring me joy whenever I saw it - something I could have out all the time. So on the way to the ocean we swung in here. I was prepared with some ashes in hand and was warmly welcomed by the owners. I was ugly crying and struggling to describe what I was looking for, but they were compassionate and helpful and let me have all the time I needed to make some decisions while simultaneously talking about how amazing Howie was. They helped me pick out the perfect pieces to create to honor him - I ended up with two glass votives and a sleeping glass cat. I got to choose the colors and sizes and styles. And they are beautiful. Honestly, the glass I received a couple weeks later was beyond my expectations. Little pieces of art that bring me joy and warmth whenever I see them or light a candle within. I couldn't have thought of a better way to keep his spirit alive than this, and I am so grateful for Opal Art Glass for taking the time to create something so perfect and meaningful to me. Now that said - they do ALL SORTS of other glass creations and art too (ornaments, bowls, yard art, figurines, pendants, etc) and they are all beautiful and unique and the prices are fair. Truly a wonderful place to stop in for some gifts or art if you're around. What sets these guys a part from all the rest is they care - they care about their customers and care about the quality they deliver. You don't have to create something special with ashes, maybe you just want something unique created for a loved one, but regardless of what you're looking for they will help you find it. Thank you, Opal Art Glass!

They have the coolest glass floats and lit up glass floats on a stand. The owner was sooooooo nice and even showed us around a bit and talked to us about his craft.

The artist is truly amazing and really makes some gorgeous pieces you won't find anywhere else!

Decided to walk outside to vape and a nice senior member walked out to smoke with us...we found out she grew up in the area and she was sharing stories about her family with us, which we were all enjoying...then the bartenders friend came outside and ruined the whole vibe by saying she didn't like us and then made fun of the senior member. Called her out as being a mean person and headed out. Not sure what we did to feel unliked...we were nothing but polite and friendly...my partner was really upset we were treated like that

It was established more than a quarter century ago by Leilani Jones-Chubby to preserve the culture of the Quinault. Leilani was on-hand the day of my visit. She continues on as the museum's curator & archivist and many of her own woven creations are a part of the collection! A large part of the museum's collection is made up of woven baskets, but also look for the beautiful woven dolls in traditional Quinault gear that were created by Leilani herself. The collection also includes wonderfully detailed painted paddles, painted ceremonial drums heads, many stone tools and much more. Unlike traditional museums, there are not as many informational cards (explaining the artifacts) as you might expect. Be sure to ask the curator to share her knowledge...the traditional storytelling way of passing down information!
