Kelly's Brighton Marina – Oregon Coast Crabbing

Oregon Coast Crabbing at Kelly’s

Looking for adventure?

Kelly’s Brighton Marina on the Oregon Coast is the perfect place to find it! We’d love to get you out on an adventure in the wild.

Learn How To Crab

Kelly’s is the best place for beginners to learn how to crab and for experienced crabbers to enjoy the abundance that nature provides. And the unique Nehalem Bay is a hidden gem for great crabbing in Tillamook County.

Eat Fresh Seafood

With the glorious sights and sounds of the majestic Nehalem Bay in the backdrop, you can’t ask for a more iconic Oregon Coast vista while eating the freshest seafood. Come and ask for our delicious Dungeness Crab, Pacific Netarts Oysters, and Manilla Steamer Clams.

Waterfront Tent and RV Camping

Come to Kelly’s to get in touch with nature~ We are located just north of Rockaway Beach and across the bay from the Nehalem Bay State Park in the premier spot for camping. We are a perfect jumping off point with Cannon Beach 32 min to the north and Tillamook 28 min to the south.

Make crabbing on the Oregon Coast at Kelly’s Brighton Marina your next adventure!
