Fodor's Expert Review Washed Ashore Gallery

The name of this unique arts space hints at its mission: "To build and exhibit aesthetically powerful art to educate a global audience about plastic pollution in the ocean and waterways and to spark positive changes in consumer habits." Inside the gallery you can view—and purchase—some of the remarkable sculptures of marine life that have been constructed entirely out of plastics and other debris collected from beaches, and learn more about how to help contribute to their efforts. The gallery is closed in winter, but there's a second location in Coos Bay that's open year-round and where you can watch artists working on new projects.
