To get to the tide pools, you have to walk across uneven rocks, so it is not easily accessible for people with balance issues. It's worth noting that the staircase in the lighthouse is under construction and not available. From there, we walked up the incline to get views of the cove and the north beach areas. It was just one perfect photo after another. We then hopped back into the car and drove down to the Cove parking lot. There are not many parking spaces there, but we were there early and had no problem. Just another wonderful set of views.

Fun, informative center with bathrooms and merch area…read more Liked learning new things but don't recommend the merchandise area. The man working the register walked up to us and interrupted our conversation not knowing any context and was a bit rude to be honest. I understand promoting the merchandise and trying to convince and sway us to buy but being rude won't get me to purchase anything or make me feel intimidated by you. He knew how to rush us out the door with his attitude and tone. Merch is pricey and the man working isn't the friendliest. Would recommend skipping the merch and just walk around the free informational area.

There are clean bathrooms in the visitor's center, but at the upper lighthouse parking the bathrooms are more primitive. Similar to what you'd find at a park or campground. We've always skipped the visitor's center, but decided to finally give it a try. Inside is a tiny gift shop (more like a nook), a self guided museum type exhibit in one room, an open area with an information desk and some simple displays. A large window looks out to a rock face. There is a rear door that leads to a picnic area. We spent about 20 minutes inside. Including a restroom visit and gift shop meltdown. At the information desk we overheard someone asking how to find the lighthouse. They were instructed to walk 1/3 mile up the road. The person at the desk neglected to tell them they could drive up and park. I'm sure the walk is lovely, although I suspect it has a steep incline. If you have difficulties walking, driving to the lighthouse is probably a better option. We've been coming here for many years and have made many visits to the lackluster, concrete-floored, National Parks restroom facilities near the lighthouse and viewing area. Don't be like me. Stop inside the interpretive center for clean, indoor amenities like hot water and air fresheners.

They were treated with warm welcome, respect, offered pamphlets and offered to call a specific business when asked and wished a good day with a smile as they left. Just wish they were considered the 'Lincoln City Information Center'.

One of only 50 covered bridges left in the state of Oregon. A nice rest stop when you are driving through the countryside on Kings Valley Highway. I can see why the community still uses it for weddings, picnics and get togethers. The bridge is just off to side of the highway and has picnic tables inside. Not many other amenities, just a porta-potty in the parking area, although there is a trail along the creek. The bridge was built in 1926 and later moved to this location where it was restored after the community rallied support to preserve the structure. It is on the National Historic Register.

We recently found a hotel at great rates and keep coming back to this little town with a big heart. We're abto hit up the Sea Hag for some breakfast and "World Famous Bloody Mary's.

We looked for a place to eat first since we were so hungry. We found a Thai restaurant along the U.S. 101 Highway. We passed by the "The World's Smallest Harbor" and we meant to come back to check it out after our lunch but we completely forgot. I got distracted from seeing the cute little stores along the highway. Depoe Bay is not a stranger to Hollywood. Some movie locations were filmed here like from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (fishing trip scenes) and a restaurant scene in the movie The Burning Plain (with Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Basinger)... Across the highway in the downtown area towards the ocean is a sea wall but it was getting too cold so we didn't cross the street.

There are a few picnic tables scattered around the parking lot with the best ocean view if you don't want to or can't walk down to the beach - which is usually very windy and on the chilly side. We've always brought a picnic or gotten take out at one of the eateries just up the road (something at the 60's Cafe is a good choice). We tailgate or just eat inside our truck because of the wind. It doesn't matter since coming to see the ocean is the goal. On any given day I could just roll down the window enough to hear the roaring surf and take a nap. Someone mentioned the birds. Yes, lots of them: seagulls & crows especially. Just be careful if you have food (bread & crackers draw them like a magnet), they are pretty bold and don't seem to be afraid of people. The beach is apparently very dog friendly as almost everyone there the day we were had one or two. It was nice to see a free "poop bag" station and people actually using it. Road's End is considered a State Park and is well-maintained by Park Rangers. Best of all? No use fees! Definitely my Happy Place in Lincoln City.
