Cities along the Oregon coast never cease to fascinate me. Oregon coast itself is such a fascinating stretch of beaches. Along the coast you will find around 30 small towns dotting the coast. These towns are not hustling bustling modern townships. They laid back nature of these towns provides right environment to beat the stress of the stressed out people. You just find a comfortable place for stay, enjoy the sea coast. You will of course find a recreational activity for yourself.

Depoe Bay is one of such city. The city is small. Depoe Bay is known as the “Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon Coast”. If you enjoy watching whales, this city is the perfect place for your vacation.

All adults may not enjoy whale watching but kids without exception enjoy watching whales. So take your kids for a vacation to Depoe Bay. Another attraction of this city is its status as the smallest natural harbor. It is the smallest harbor of this type in the world.

The city is unique in another way. Downtown of the city is situated on the huge sea wall. So whether you are enjoying the shopping in the down town or having coffee there, sea is never out of your sight. Another unique feature of the sea is the gushing water of sea waves.

When sea waves strikes the volcanic rocks of the coast, gushing sea water from the rock holes look like large natural fountains. Parks surrounding the Depoe Bay are ideal for camping. This place will be your first choice if you wish to combine camping with whale watching.
