Depoe Bay

Gentle Adventures. Natural Healing.

Set against the dramatic cliffs of the Oregon coast, Depoe Bay offers more than just stunning views — it’s a place where nature invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.

Whether you’re walking beside the harbor, watching whales crest the waves, or listening to the wind roll through the evergreens, every moment in Depoe Bay supports healing in its own quiet way.

Things to Do

Whale Watching

Depoe Bay is famous for its resident gray whales — visible right from the shore or on local boat tours.

Coastal Trails & Forest Walks

Gentle hikes along ocean cliffs, wildflower meadows, and quiet wooded paths offer peaceful solitude and fresh sea air.

Tidepool Exploring

At low tide, uncover the small wonders of the coast — starfish, anemones, and other tiny marine miracles.

Harbor Shops & Cafés

Browse local artisan shops, sip something warm, and enjoy a slow afternoon by the sea.

Pony Painting & Art Projects

At Wade’s House, young visitors can create and decorate their own mini Pony Up! horses or contribute to healing art projects.

Crabbing & Fishing

Local docks and charter boats offer simple, hands-on experiences for kids and adults alike — catch your own dinner or just enjoy the moment.

Benificial Gems

Oregon Sunstones

Oregon Sunstone has been used for centuries to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual health. It is beneficial in treating disorders of the heart and emotions, and can help clear away negative energy and promote a positive environment. Sunstone facilitates creativity and self-expression, making it an ideal stone for artists, musicians, and writers. Native Americans in the northwest often used the glittering stones in jewelery medicine wheel ceremonies to help establish a connection with the healing light of the sun.
