The McMenamin brothers extend their empire to the beach with this hotel venue on a golf course in Gearhart (3 miles north of Seaside). The comfortable, wood-paneled rooms have private bathrooms and are decorated with the quirky art that has made the McMenamin brand famous. Below is a restaurant-bar with an outdoor patio that looks over golf links and yet another bar in the dunes.
