etween Lincoln City and Florence lies the spectacular Central
Coast, blessed with long, sandy beaches, massive headlands, and
picturesque lighthouses. This part of the coast boasts numerous
lodgings with dramatic ocean views, and its towns, located 10 to 20
miles apart, provide a marvelous selection of places to stay and eat,
ranging from economical to elegant.
Visitors flock to Lincoln City’s Tanger Outlets, Chinook Winds
Casino Resort, Devils Lake, and Jennifer L. Sears Glass Art Studio, as
well as to the town’s popular beaches. Lincoln City is also a great place
to browse antique shops and fly kites.
The renowned Salishan Spa & Golf Resort is located south of
Lincoln City in Gleneden Beach. Down the road is Depoe Bay,
known for its whale-watching and fishing charters and for having
the “world’s smallest harbor.”
Newport draws visitors to historic Nye Beach and to the Bayfront,
where working fishermen mingle with tourists enjoying the many
restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions. Many visitors enjoy a fishing or whale-watching charter trip, and not to be missed are the
world-class Oregon Coast Aquarium and Hatfield Marine Science
Visitor Center. Toledo, a few miles inland, has become quite an artist
colony and boasts the largest outdoor mural in the Northwest.
Two villages, Yachats and Waldport, are favorite getaways—even
for coastal folks. The rugged, undeveloped stretch between Yachats and
Florence is one of the most scenic drives along the coast and home to the
oft-photographed Heceta Head Lighthouse and the ever-popular Sea
Lion Caves.
Florence, situated on a bend of the Siuslaw River and surrounded
by numerous beautiful lakes, ranks fishing and water sports as major
activities. It’s also the gateway to the incomparable Oregon Dunes
National Recreation Area, stretching south for 40 miles and a
favorite spot for off-road-vehicle riders, campers, hikers, birders,
and fishermen.
With so much to do, let’s continue the journey…

128.0 - Depoe Bay (ZIP 97341)
The land that now is Depoe Bay
was allotted by the U.S. government in
1894 to a Siletz Indian named Charlie
Depot. His last name was derived from
his employment at a U.S. army depot.
The family later changed the spelling to
Depoe, which was the spelling used when
a post office was established in 1928.
Depoe Bay knows how to throw 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.
15 Whale Cove Inn 541-765-4300 / 800-628-3409
Luxury Boutique Inn•Magnificient View whalecoveinn.net
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 horn,” rock formations
that turn crashing waves into a plume of
water on stormy days. Winter storm-watching in this town is very popular.
128.0 - Whale Watching Center
In summer, about 60 gray whales
reside off the Central Coast, with some
of the best viewing from Depoe Bay and
Boiler Bay. Learn all about it in Depoe
Bay at the Oregon State Park Whale
Watching Center next to the sea wall.
(541-765-3304; whalespoken.org) 
128.0 - Depoe Bay Bridge
This single-span reinforced concrete
deck arch bridge is a good example of
McCullough’s engineering and artistic
design. When this bridge was built in
1927, it was skinnier. It was doubled in
size on the seaward side in 1940.
128.5 - Little Whale Cove
129.2 - Whale Cove
As the story goes, this scenic cove
was named long ago by a party of pioneer
travelers who found Native Indians busy
at work on the carcass of a dead whale.
Recently discovered artifacts and historical research lead many to believe Sir
Francis Drake landed here.
129.6 - Rocky Creek SSV
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.
132.5 - Otter Rock (ZIP 97369)
Located on the south side of Cape
Foulweather, Otter Rock is protected
from the summer winds, but greets the
storms of winter head on. Great for
storm-watching.
132.5 - Otter Rock–Devils PunchBowl SNA
The small commercial district of
Otter Rock is within a few feet of Devils
Punch Bowl and at the foot of Cape
Depoe Bay Harbor.
Foulweather. Great area for storm-watching in winter and surfing in summer.

Rocky Creek Bridge
This was once Hwy 101 itself, but the
roadway is now a one-way (southbound)
scenic drive with spectacular views
between here and Cape Foulweather.
About 1/10 mile along this road is
Rocky Creek Bridge. This McCulloughdesigned, reinforced-concrete bridge
was built in 1927, and the concrete has
recently been treated to prolong its life.

Area and Lighthouse
This oft-photographed lighthouse was
built in 1873. At 93 feet tall, Oregon’s
tallest lighthouse continues to cast its light
with the original lens in place. There is an
educational interpretive center, trails that
crisscross the headland, and handicappedaccessible tide pools to visit. Fee area. 

141.0 - Toledo (ZIP 97391)
Located on the Yaquina River east of

Historic Main Street district, where the
largest mosaic tile mural in the Northwest
depicts the history of the town. Several
resident artists have galleries in the Art
District. A railroad historical display interprets the rail and timber history of Lincoln
County, and the Toledo History Center
illustrates the development of the community from 1866 to the present. Olalla
Valley Golf Club offers nine holes.
142.0 - Yaquina Bay Lighthouse
This is the only wooden lighthouse
on the Oregon Coast, the only one with
living quarters attached, and the only
one that is now a museum. It was lit
only from 1871 until 1874, but in 1996
became a working lighthouse again with
a steady white light each night. The
museum is open year-round.

much use. 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.

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 and Museum 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 to the historic North

The Oregon Dunes NRA extends from
Florence to Coos Bay with many access
points off Hwy 101. The Oregon Dunes
Visitor Center is in Reedsport. All sites on
the Oregon Dunes NRA require a recreation pass. To purchase a pass, contact the
Oregon Dunes Visitor Center (milepost
211.4) or any Forest Service office.
191.7 - South Jetty Road
South Jetty Road heads west from
Hwy 101 into the dunes. Just before the
foredunes, the road turns north. Several
parking areas on South Jetty Road provide easy access to the beach, but there
is no camping. Surfers and windsurfers often use this as a staging area, and
people catch crabs off the pier in season.
The pier is also a dive site. A recreation
pass required.
196.5 - Westlake (ZIP 97493)
A well-marked road east to Siltcoos
Lake leads to Tyee Campground, a 14-site
Oregon Dunes NRA campground that

Westlake, and a public boat ramp.
196.9 - Siltcoos River
Take the Westlake turnoff to the public
boat ramp on Siltcoos Lake. A 3- to 4-mile
canoe trail starts in Siltcoos Lake and
moves along Siltcoos River to an estuary
and the ocean.
198.0 - Siltcoos Rec Area
On the east side a parking lot and
hiking trails lead to Siltcoos Lake. On
the west side, the road runs past three
campgrounds: Lagoon, Waxmyrtle, and
Driftwood II, which has OHV sand access.
Hiking trails run throughout the area.
The road ends in a parking lot with beach
access. A recreation pass required. Closures
that protect the western snowy plover are
posted March 15 through September 15.
198.4 - Lane/Douglas County Line
