This picturesque one-way road features stunning views from a lookout observatory and nearby gift shop. Be sure to watch for oncoming vehicles, as the narrow road can be tricky, but the views more than make up for it. With its endless scenic beauty and recreational opportunities, Depoe Bay offers something for everyone, whether you're a thrill-seeker or simply looking to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.
