First off, here are the promised videos from the Oregon Coast Aquarium:
Now, it’s Saturday. Foggy in the AM as usual. I did a walk. Today’s theme is places you can stay at in Depoe Bay. Most are decidedly downscale. The Inn at Arch Rock seems nice and is usually full. The arch rock, by the way, isn’t an arch anymore. It collapsed years ago. If you come to Depoe Bay, definitely do NOT stay at the Travelodge. It gets horrific reviews. It’s owned by Wyndham, but they don’t put their name on it.
The condos in our complex are individually owned units. About half are permanently occupied. The others are rented out, mainly through Blue Pacific Vacation Rentals, a local property manager with properties in Lincoln City, Newport, and Depoe Bay. That’s who we rent from.
We decided to have a quiet day. We motored into Newport for lunch at another of our go-to places, the Pacific Kitchen at Nye Beach. We stopped briefly at an overlook nearby at Yaquina Bay. Then it was lunch. Calamari to start. Elaine had coconut shrimp and I had halibut fish and chips. Elaine sipped Pacifico beer while I enjoyed a locally brewed draft lager.
Then it was back home to relax. The fog and clouds lifted perfectly in time for cocktails on the balcony. God knows!
Snacks and off to bed.
We stayed at Inn at Arch Rock years ago. Very nice.
Halibut fish and chips…..my fave!
The fun continues!
Great puffin video. Cindy, Lena and I thank you. Not so much the jelly fish. I hated it when they would swim in at Wallis Sands Beach after a storm when we were kids and we couldn’t go in the water.
It looks like you guys chose the best place to stay in Depoe Bay. And you sure know the best places to eat. Lunch looks yummy. I love calamari, coconut shrimp, and halibut fish and chips.
Hurricane Lee was underwhelming.
Hi E&J, playing catch-up here. We had back to back visits from old friends as well as a visit from hurricane Lee, which turned out to be a paper Tiger. Luckily for us it headed east and made landfall Nova Scotia instead of New England. Still, we had very high surf, lots of wind and lots of downed branches. I was so anxious in my last post to get the 10 points for Carl Sandburg that I went directly to Comments not realizing that the answer was in the blog. Sounds like you’re having a lot of fog this time around. It can be beautiful. Carry-on!
