Your first impression when you approach Depoe Bay from the north will be of retail stores on the east side of the highway and parking on the west side of the highway along the seawall above the rocky shore of the bay.

The Harbor

On my first visit I was surprised to see a boat come out of what seemed to be a hole in the rocks along the shore. Nature carved a small access in the rocks to the smallest navigable harbor in the world, according to the locals. The harbor lies inland on the east side of US Highway-101.

Don’t miss a trip down to the harbor. Not only do you get a great photo opportunity of the bridge over the harbor inlet and if you are there at the right time the sunset behind the bridge, you also get to visit a working harbor loading tour boats and offloading tour boats and fish.

Whale Watching & Fishing

Depoe Bay is fortunate to have a resident Grey Whale pot that spends about 10 months out of the year. Local tour guides leave just about hourly to whisk you out to watch the whales. See our Tours Recommendations and listings below for tour operators.

There is abundant fishing for Halibut, Salmon, Albacore Tuna, and Dungeness Crab in the area with tour guides available to assist you.

Festivals

It seems like this community is in love with the hard work it takes to produce festivals and events.

They have a third of July fireworks show, a wooden boat show in April, a Fleet of Flowers on Memorial Day which has been operating for over 60 years, a traditional Indian Salmon Bake, that has been held for over 50 years, on the third weekend in September, and a Magic of Christmas display during the Holiday Season just to name a few.
