Discover where you see the best views in Depoe Bay and enjoy the beauty of the Oregon Coast.

Depoe Bay Bridge

Depoe Bay Bridge.

An Oregon Coast landmark, the Depoe Bay Bridge is an iconic structure that spans either side of the world’s smallest harbor. Enjoy a walk across the bridge for a different view of the town, harbor, and the ocean. Located just a few steps from the Channel House, this is an easy add-on to any weekend in Depoe Bay.

In town

Observation benches in town.

Part of what makes Depoe Bay unique is the sea wall that runs directly through the center of downtown. The feature allows those who are dining, shopping, or simply walking through town to enjoy spectacular ocean views. Plus, on the shore side of the seawall, there are several observation spots with benches, perfect for whale watching and taking in the views.
