Toward the end of July 2023 we met up with dear friends on the Oregon Coast. I am doing a series of blog posts about our adventures on the Oregon Coast – check out the blog category – Oregon Coast Adventures – for the other posts (note when you click the link this current post will be the first one that shows but keep scrolling).
After flying into Portland, Oregon, renting a car, and stopping in McMinnville, Oregon (see post Oregon Coast Adventures: First Stop -McMinnville, Oregon) we drove to Depoe Bay, Oregon and spent the night at a little motel right on the bay. We came in a day before our friends we to arrive so we could do a little sightseeing on our own and leisurely make our way to Newport, Oregon to meet up with them.
The motel itself was nothing to “write home about” but it had a tasty free breakfast included and some amazing views.
This was the view from our motel room window:
And here are photos of the beach area a little bit down from the motel where we did a little exploring before heading to a delicious fresh seafood dinner.
And of course I had to take a photo in B&W:
I love this photo! Looks kind of mysterious and moody!
Next post in this series I’ll share our adventures when we got to Newport, Oregon to meet up with our friends.

Gorgeous scenery, and it looks as if you were also very lucky with the weather.

We were lucky with the weather, especially on the coast – it was coldish and rainy one day but glorious the rest of the trip 🙂

Who cares about the ‘class’ of the motel? Those views are a goldmine!

You are right (as long as there isn’t things crawling on the floor or weird stains on the bed all is good – ha!). We could not believe the view outside our window 🙂

Oh yeah, 100% agree on the ‘condition’ of a place…but sometimes even expensive places can have those same issues…unfortunately!
