Castaways Tini Tiki Hut

In Cannon Beach, land of the year-round fleece and hoodie, this little cottage-restaurant is a local fave, maybe because it likes things spicy and tropical. The ingredients may be the ubiquitous crab, shrimp, and seafood of the Oregon coast, but it’s cooked up in different ways: the crab turned into fritters, the shrimp curried, and the fish and shellfish in the jambalaya seasoned Cajun style. If seafood doesn’t swim with you, try the Haystack Chicken, named after Cannon Beach’s most iconic landmark, or the macaroni and cheese with Andouille sausage. The portions here are large, so you may want to share. And the cocktail menu is fun, too, with some rum-based delights.
