Today we have Sarah Fox joining us to share her Top 5 Places to Visit in Wildwood Cove.
With The Crêpes of Wrath about to kick off my Pancake House Mystery series on August 16, 2016, I thought I’d introduce everyone to the town of Wildwood Cove where the series is set. Nestled along the northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, Wildwood Cove is home to rambling Victorian houses, stunning views, and—of course—the best pancakes around.
As for places to visit, Wildwood Cove has some fantastic ones. Here are the top five:
1. The Flip Side Pancake House. This is the obvious top choice, but not just because it’s what brings Marley McKinney to Wildwood Cove where her sleuthing adventures begin. With its rustic interior, seaside location, and scrumptious food, The Flip Side should definitely not be missed. While the burly chef might be intimidating, there’s nothing frightening about the delicious meals he cooks up. If you like the sound of churro waffles, blueberry crumble pancakes, and s’mores crêpes, be sure to stop by The Flip Side!
2. Wildwood Beach. With views of the San Juan Islands, Wildwood Beach offers beauty and tranquility. Go for a dip in the ocean or relax on the soft sand while listening to the lapping waves and watching seals swim just off shore.
3. Scoops Ice Cream Shop. Located near the marina on the western side of town, Scoops offers a multitude of delicious flavors of ice cream to enjoy while walking along the beach or taking in the sights of the town.
4. Johnny’s Juice Hut. If you’re looking for a cold drink on a hot day, this is the place to go. Johnny’s Juice Hut offers smoothies, bubble tea, and—naturally—many types of juice. Located on Main Street, right in the center of town, you can find Johnny’s Juice Hut nestled between an antiques shop and a shoe store.
5. Farmers’ Market. This fantastic market takes place every Saturday morning between the middle of May and early October. Located on the promenade that runs along the top of Wildwood Beach, the local farmers’ market offers everything from local produce and baked goods to handicrafts and artwork. Enjoy the fresh ocean air as you stroll from stall the stall, checking out everything the local farmers and artisans have to offer.
While those are my top five picks for places to visit in Wildwood Cove, the town is brimming with charming shops and sites. I hope you’ll all get to know the town better in The Crêpes of Wrath.
