Tips from the Community
There are some places where it seems almost pointless to write a tip because human languages don't have the capacity to describe the beauty. This is one such place. On this short stretch of road just off of Highway 101 you'll see sites that you'll never forget, and will always be pulling you back just so you can see them again.

Rocky Creek State Park is blessed with dramatic cliffs, pounding surf, forested bluffs. And if that wasn't enough it's also and excellent location for whale watching. Especially during the gray whale migration periods of December-January and March-April.

Depoe Bay is a city in Lincoln County, Oregon, located on Route 101 on the Pacific Ocean. The bay of the same name is a 6-acre (2.4 ha) harbor, which the city promotes as the smallest navigable harbor in the world. Depoe Bay was named after Siletz Indian Charles "Charley" Depot, to whom the land was originally granted in 1894 as part of the Dawes Act of 1887. There are conflicting accounts of the origin of his name. It is said that he received the name "Depot Charley" because he worked at the military depot near Toledo, Oregon. The family later became known as "DePoe." His original tribal affiliation was Tututni. In 1975, the fishing trip sequence in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed in Depoe Bay. In 1983, the harbor sequence in Hysterical was filmed in Depoe Bay, with the Depoe Bay Bridge prominently featured in the background. In 2008, restaurant scenes from The Burning Plain were filmed in Depoe Bay at the Tidal Raves restaurant. On March 11, 2011, the Depoe Bay harbor was damaged by a tsunami caused by the Tohoku earthquake off the coast of Japan. On August 21, 2017, Depoe Bay was one of the first places in the United States to experience the entirety of that year's North American solar eclipse.

A wondrous and rugged bay rimmed with basalt. Boiler Bay is a great place to watch wild surfing action on the rocky spurs. This magnificent panoramic view offers a great opportunity to see gray whales all year round. Bring your binoculars - this is one of the best places in Oregon to see oceanic birds (like shearwaters, jaegers, albatrosses, grebes, pelicans, loons, oystercatchers and murrelets). In 1910 an explosion sank the J. Marhoffer and you can see the ship's boiler at low tide.
