Crab Fishing
Crab fishing is a fun and rewarding activity for the whole family. You can enjoy the scenic views of the Oregon coast, watch the wildlife, and catch some of the tastiest and freshest crabs in the world. We fish for Dungeness crabs, which are abundant and delicious. We use crab pots, which are large metal cages baited with fish or chicken. We drop the pots in the water and let them soak for a while, then pull them up and check for crabs. You can keep up to 12 male crabs per person, as long as they are at least 5 3/4 inches across the shell. We will cook and clean the crabs for you, or you can take them home live.

We can also arrange a ceremony, a memorial plaque, a floral tribute, or any other special request you may have. We will treat you and your loved one with respect and compassion, and we will make sure that your final farewell is a memorable and dignified one.
