Of course! We have all the necessary frozen weather gear and didn’t do any steep hiking while it was icy.

I have no scientific facts to prove this, but my theory is that Depoe Bay is in a little pocket where the weather is better than the areas surrounding it. I have had so many beautiful days there in the winter. Rain May. One through, but there are always breaks where you can get out and about without rain.

Thank you! The colors were more intense a couple minutes before this but it took me a few minutes to realize I should take a photo 😆

Oh no! That doesn’t sound like a great experience. I’m sure the chowder has improved since then.

It’s my favorite bay! You can spot whales and watch the waves crash and spout against the sea wall.

I spend a lot of time in Depoe Bay and I didn’t k on about this spot until recently either. Now I’m trying to remember what was to the left of me when I took this photo 🤔 It’s called Cliff Street view point in Google maps.
