Depoe Bay is a coastal city that is known for its huge sea wall that runs the length of the downtown area. This area is known as the “Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon Coast,” so if you want to see some whales, this town helps make it easier with its Whale Watch Center, shore observation decks and plenty of charter boats. The fishing is very good out of Depoe Bay as anglers fish for salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish.
