As summer comes to a close in September, Depoe Bay in autumn starts to bloom. Fall foliage can be seen on the Oregon coast and cooler weather makes it perfect to stroll along the beautiful nature. While you may believe summer and winter are the best times to visit the small fishing village, there is plenty of fun in fall waiting for you! Discover the unique aspects of Depoe Bay autumn today for your next getaway to the Pacific Northwest.
Fall Whale-Watching
Depoe Bay in autumn is a great time to see whales swimming along the shore! Whales move closer into the bay area to feed during fall, and it makes the probability of spotting them very likely! Depoe Bay residents can typically see 5 to 15 whales a day until mid-November. Head over to the viewing deck at the Whale Watching Center and feast your eyes on the beautiful creatures splashing by!
A Trip to Newport Historic Bayfront
If you’re looking for a shopping spree during your fall vacation, consider a trip to the Newport Historic Bayfront! Nestled along the dockside in Mariner Square, you have access to many great shops, art galleries, and dining experiences. The area is also famous for the views of docked boats and their resident sea lions!

Located in Lincoln City, this hiking trail is within forestlands and has a great view of the Oregon coastline once you reach the top of the hill.
