Discover Lincoln City Oregon

“I stockpiled for years and years, and
decided to open up a cool shop when
I retired,” Bradstreet said. “Every one
of these items has a story.”
The main store, which opened in 2015,
hosts a wide variety of genuine and replica
fossils, as well as art pieces, mineral
samples, meteorites, and a handful of
unique furniture items. But venture down
the staircase, into Prehistoric’s extension
added in 2016, and you’ll find even more
of Bradstreet’s personal collection, bits
and pieces of natural history calcified and
preserved for millions of years.
Some of the smaller pieces retail for a
hundred bucks or so, but the aficionado
can uncover some truly unusual treasures
— an entire juvenile mammoth jaw, or
a diplodocus bone, or a three-foot-long
edmontosaurus femur.
You’ll never be lacking a conversation
piece in your home again.

Christmas Cottage
As a bona fide beach town,
summertime is the busiest period for
shopping in Lincoln City. That rule
applies to even the most seasonal of
stores, like the Christmas Cottage, where
holiday ornaments, trinkets and gifts
sit on every surface and dangle from
every nook and cranny imaginable in an
absolute eruption of Christmas cheer.
The Cottage has spent 43 years
accumulating the most unique holiday
memorabilia in the business, and you’d
be challenged not to find what you’re
looking for. Want a customizable
penguin ornament featuring every
member of your family by name?
Done. What about a sparkly version of
your favorite fruit to adorn your tree?
They’ve got it. Enough nutcrackers to
fill an entire wall? You’re covered.
“We gift wrap for free, we personalize for
free,” said the store’s manager. “We have a
lot of generational customers.”

Rock Your World
If you tend to spend more time at the
beach looking down to find cool rocks
rather that up to watch the waves hit
the sand, Rock Your World might be the
shop for you. This intriguing shop offers
a spectacular array of rocks, minerals,
and handcrafted jewelry made by store
owner Laura Joki. Joki uses stones in her
metal-wrapped creations that originate
anywhere from Lincoln County beaches to
spots around the globe. She uses both raw
and polished stones in her work, wrapping
them in spiraling copper and silver wire;
because every stone is different, every
piece of jewelry she creates is unique.
The shop is also chock-full of raw and
polished stones and minerals, as well
as other treasures. Want to find your
own? Try a free beachcombing clinic led
by Joki, where she teaches participants
the basics of hunting for local agates,
fossils, petrified wood, and other amazing
coastal souvenirs. The clinics run through
April; check the Lincoln City Visitor and
Convention Bureau web site (oregoncoast.
org) for more information.
