later changed the spelling to Depoe, which
was the spelling used when a post office

Depoe Bay may have only 1100 fulltime residents, but it still knows how to put
on a party. April brings the Classic Wooden
Boat Show, Crab Feed, and Ducky Derby.
The Fleet of Flowers is on Memorial Day,
and the annual salmon bake is in September.
Depoe Bay claims to have the world’s
smallest navigable harbor. Charter fishing
and whale-watching boats can be on the open
sea in just minutes. A sea wall runs almost
the full length of town and is known for
the “spouting horns,” rock formations that
turn crashing waves into plumes of water on
stormy days. Winter storm-watching in this
town is very popular.
131.2 - Cape Foulweather
Panoramic views but no facilities.
Captain James Cook named the promontory in 1778 on a day of particularly
inclement weather. Winds can reach 100
mph during storms. A gift shop on the
north side is a real cliffhanger called The
Lookout Observatory.

This was once Hwy 101 itself, but the
roadway is now a one-way (southbound)
scenic drive with spectacular views between

along this road is Rocky Creek Bridge. This
McCullough-designed, reinforced-concrete
bridge was built in 1927, and the concrete
has recently been treated to prolong its life.

Historic Nye Beach
140.5 - Nye Beach Historic District
This pedestrian-friendly historic community within Newport features fine and
casual dining, unique lodging, quaint shopping, performing and visual arts venues,
and various services, as well as beach access
to 4 miles of sandy beach between Yaquina
Head and Yaquina Bay lighthouses.
History Center has exhibits for young people at its two museums—Burrows House
and the Log Cabin Museum.
Hwy 20 runs east through the Coast
Range and on to Boston, Massachusetts.
At 3365 miles, it is the longest road in
America. Seven miles inland it passes Toledo
at the head of Yaquina Bay.
141.0 - Toledo (ZIP 97391)
Located on the Yaquina River east
of Newport on Hwy 20, Toledo’s sheltered
location on the estuary of the Yaquina
141.0 - Newport (ZIP 97365)
Nestled between the Coast Range
and the Pacific Ocean, Newport has been a
vacation hotspot since 1856. Newport’s various attractions include the Oregon Coast
Aquarium, Hatfield Marine Science Center,
two historic lighthouses, the Bayfront, and
historic Nye Beach. The Bayfront bustles with
activity, from the U.S. Coast Guard Station
and commercial fishing fleet, to family attractions, charter boats, and galleries.
In February, Newport hosts one of the
Northwest’s largest Seafood and Wine festivals. Other annual events are the Loyalty
Days and Sea Fair Festival in May, the
Lincoln County Fair and Rodeo in July,
and Sea of Lights and Parade of Boats
during the holidays. The Oregon Coast
ing steel arch makes this one of the most
photographed of McCullough’s bridges.
It is high enough for boats to pass under
and has a combination of both steel and
concrete arches. At each end of the bridge
is a pedestrian plaza with stairways leading
to observation areas. From the north end of
the bridge, a fairly steep street leads down
to Bay Boulevard and Newport’s Bayfront.
Farther on, Bay Boulevard becomes North
Bay Road, following the route of the 1885
Oregon Pacific Railroad along the Yaquina
River to Toledo. The 13-mile scenic drive
features river and estuary vistas, historical
markers, and bike and walking lanes.
OCEANFRONT
ACCOMMODATIONS
142.0 - Yaquina Bay SRS
This park lies at the southern end of
Yaquina Bay bridge and is home to the lighthouse, interpretive center, and picnic area.
Where the Yaquina River meets the
ocean, you can expect to see numerous
shorebirds, bay birds, and migrating birds.
For that great photo, follow Bay
Boulevard past Bayfront out to Embarcadero
and out Yaquina Bay Road. Several places
along the road offer good shots of the bridge.

153.2 - Driftwood Beach SRS
The wayside has access to the ocean
and picnic facilities.
155.5 - Alsea Bay Bridge
The “new” Alsea Bay Bridge was completed in 1991. The old bridge, built in 1936,
was the first and only large coastal bridge
designed by Conde McCullough that has
been replaced. The new bridge has a clearance
of 70 feet, and steel and concrete pilings reach
more than 100 feet into the bedrock below.
At the south end of the bridge is the Historic
Alsea Bay Bridge Interpretive Center with
its historic transportation and coastal bridge
displays in addition to general visitor information (541-563-2002). 
Bridge walks and nature walks have become
popular, and Drift Creek Wilderness, a
few miles east of Waldport, is accessible to
hikers. Points of interest in town include
the Waldport Heritage Museum and Alsea
Bay Bridge Interpretive Center, which is
also home to the Waldport Chamber of
Commerce. A wayside at the south end
of town provides beach access. The drive
along Hwy 34 to Corvallis is a scenic route.
156.6 - USFS Waldport Office
Recreation passes available here (541563-3211).

156.0 - Waldport (ZIP 97394)
Nestled between the ocean and the
Siuslaw National Forest, this community
of 2050 is “where the forest meets the
sea.” Situated on Alsea Bay, fishing, crabbing, and clamming are very popular and
the free crabbing dock receives much use.

State Park to Yachats State Park on the
north side of the Yachats River. Ocean view,
benches, and picnic tables. 
164.4 - Yachats (ZIP 97498)
Known as the Gem of the Oregon
Coast, Yachats is a village of about 635
people located at the mouth of the Yachats
River. Long known as a vacation destination, the resort village draws people who
appreciate its unique qualities. The Little
Log Church was built more than 60
years ago from donated logs and has been
renovated. The residents of Yachats turn
out for their annual La De Da Parade on
July Fourth. The annual Smelt Fry in July
coincides with the Yachats Music Festival,
a popular three-day series of cameo performances by 20-30 major classical artists.
In January the Yachats Lions Club puts
on a tasty crab feed. People come from far
and near to attend the Original Yachats
Arts and Crafts Fair in March, the Village
Mushroom Fest in October, and the Celtic
Music Festival in November.

Not well-known as a fishing river, the
estuary is actually a good place to catch cutthroat trout. In the early morning and late
afternoon, herds of elk come down to the pastures by the river to feed. There are marked
viewing areas between the 3- and 5-1/2-mile
marks on Yachats River Road. Maps are available at the Yachats Visitors Center.
