Located on the Oregon coast in Lincoln County, the little town of Depoe Bay is absolutely wonderful. Not only is it home to the smallest harbor in the world, amazing whale watching spots, stunning scenery, and buckets of small town charm — it’s also full of amazing, hidden gem restaurants.
Located on a gorgeous stretch of coastline, Depoe Bay (population 1,400) is a great place for relaxing waterfront strolls, sightseeing, shopping, and of course, dining.
