Photography: Depoe Bay, Oregon

I’ve spent the last week traveling through Oregon with my teenage daughter. We started at my dad’s house in Depoe Bay, moved to Bandon, and then finished in Rainbow. I took hundreds of photos. Oregon is photogenic as heck! I’ve decided to split them up and share some each Monday for a few weeks.

My photos today are of tiny Depoe Bay and our whale watching excursion through Dockside Charters. We saw four tails and lots of spouts of water, but I wasn’t quick enough to capture a great photo within our hour trip. It didn’t stop us from having a blast standing at the bow of the ship as we bounced through the ocean laughing and scanning the water. It’s an experience neither of us is likely to forget.

I hope these photos of the peaceful coolness of the Pacific coast bring you a little bit of joy.

  1. I used to pass by and always stop at depoe bay, the smallest bay in the world (?) when my son was attending college in Oregon. I love that Oregon coast. One of my favorite places was cape fowlweather 🙄

    • I’ve heard it is the smallest bay in the world…but I don’t know if that’s true. It’s really such a photogenic and beautiful place! I’ve not been to cape fowlweather; but I’m adding it to my list for next time. Thank you!

  2. I love the ruggedness of many of these photos. I particularly love the dinghy sitting alone in the vast ocean. And your daughter, even though I just saw her, suddenly looks years older!

  3. You have some beautiful shots, The Oregon coast is wonderful and as you say very photogenic. Brigette! We were there for a couple of days in the Fall of 2019,
