Coastal motel setting in Depoe Bay overlooking rocky Pacific shoreline — shoot dramatic surf, basalt outcrops, tidepools and occasional gray whale spouts. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light on waves; stormy afternoons give dramatic clouds and crashing surf. Small-town access from Ocean Ave with limited parking; bring waterproof protection and check tide charts for safe vantage points. No special entry fees; respect private property and fragile tidepool habitats.
