Watch the robust waves crash against the shore. See the sky transcend from gray to blue, and the wind sweep the coastline. A little shower sends freshness to the ocean air. The Hallmark Inns & Resorts reduced winter rates for oceanfront guestrooms are exceptional, and only steps from the beach and the stormy sea!

Holidays are over, it’s time to do something for YOU. Why not start fresh with a relaxing trip to Newport. Enjoy miles of pristine, un-crowded sandy beaches, or explore the Historic Bayfront and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Then curl-up in front of the fireplace and watch the storms and waves crash into shore. Let the tradition begin in 2012 with some of the best rates of the year.

* Available January, 2011, Sunday through Friday. $20 more on Saturday nights. Rates do not include room tax or pet fees. May not be combined with any other discount or offer. Valid for e-mail members only. Available only at the Hallmark Resort Newport.

Recently I spent the weekend at Pacific City and had an amazing time and Pelican Pub & Brewery was a large part of it!  They were extremely accommodating when our kids wanted to go from outside to inside, spilled drinks and “no ketchup” on their food.  They have an oceanfront banquet room that’s the perfect atmosphere for any event. Whether you’re planning a dream wedding, corporate retreat, family reunion or holiday party, their large fireplace, outdoor patio and breathtaking ocean views are just what you need to make your event memorable.

Plus, they’re just steps away from the beach, with incredible views of Haystack Rock, Cape Kiwanda and legendary sunsets.  What a great place to check out the 2009 Brewers Summer Games, to be held Saturday, June 20th… mark your calendar!

Oh yeah, and their food and beer rock!
