GGHI Welcomes New Member, La Spiaggia Ristorante!

Greater Grays Harbor, Inc. (GGHI) is thrilled to welcome on board new member, La Spiaggia Ristorante! We’re very excited to have this new Ocean Shores business as a member of our organization!

“La Spiaggia Ristorante is a locally owned, family friendly Italian restaurant located at 729 Point Brown Ave NW in Ocean Shores, WA.

Between myself, Rhonda, and my husband, Doug Cox, we have over 50 years of combined restaurant experience. Doug is the current chef who is classically trained and loves to cook. We have done everything from dishwashing, hostessing, bussing, serving, bartending, managing and cooking in addition to Doug’s culinary school experience at Le Cordon Blue and did his internship in Sienna, Italy.

We met in 2014 and always dreamed of one day owning a restaurant. During the COVID pandemic and restaurant shut downs, we spent our days cooking and baking with our two children (they are now five and six). We love sitting at a table with family and friends to enjoy a three hour meal that we have prepared. Additionally, we have a rescue dog named Lina and two new kittens, Tag and Sparkles.

La Spiaggia gives back to the local community by offering a “drink of the month” special where we donate $2 for every drink sold to a charity of the month. So far we have donated to various groups including North Beach PAWS and Ocean Shores Food Bank. We also compost vegetable and coffee grounds in the community garden in Ocean Shores called Garden by the Sea. This garden grows produce that is donated to the Ocean Shores Food Bank.

Lastly, we have recently joined with a community group that lessens plastics in the hospitality field. More information on this will be available as group continues to grows. Watch for La Spiaggia’s upcoming features in the 2023 Here and Now magazine in January and The Daily World magazine next year!“
