Thursday morning we walked on the beach in Salishan’s gated residential area. The beach is lightly visited, and there are fine homes on the long spit that separates bay & ocean.

After lunch, we visited the Whale Center in Depoe Bay; we saw whales spouting at great distance, with tour boats in pursuit. The town itself is picturesque.

We drove south to the aptly-named Cape Foulweather lookout. There we had a nice view of the Inn at Otter Crest, and had much better luck whale-watching.

At Devil’s Punchbowl we watched well-dressed surfers riding the waves.
