Garibaldi is a small port town and maritime community at the northern end of Tillamook Bay, close to where the Bay flows into the Pacific. People here are close companions with the sea.
At the marina, commercial fishermen haul freshly caught Dungeness crabs, ling cod, rockfish, and even octopus up to the docks. Sport fishermen tell tales at the filet table about their record-size Chinook salmon. Local hometown restaurants serve the catch of the day at their dockside tables while, down on the water, kayakers paddle out to look for bald eagles, pigeon guillemots, and purple martins flying over the bay.
