Depoe Bay is known for fun times on the shore of the Pacific Northwest. During the summer, visitors can hike Cascade Head Preserve, sail on the Depoe Bay waters, and have fun at the festivals in Lincoln City. Many believe Depoe Bay becomes a ghost town once chilly winter weather approaches. It may be cold outside, and snow clouds are forming, but there’s still fun to have in our little harbor town! Get ready to bundle up and plan for the best winter getaway to Depoe Bay.
