We lived in Lincoln City on the central Oregon coast and go back often. Including next week
The Whale watching tours in Depoe Bay are great
Any one of the Mo's restaurants on the coast is great. For the view we like the one in the south end of Lincoln City on Siletz Bay - from the restaurant we always see bald eagles and sea lions on the sand bar across the water.
You will also see lots of sea lions on the water front in Newport.
Of course no trip to the coast would be complete without going agate hunting on the beaches.
For the view go to the Inn at Spanish Head in Lincoln City and go to the top floor. I was GM there in 1972.
Pier 101 in Lincoln City has razor clams to die for. I attended the opening of the restaurant 40 years ago.
A free attraction with a world class view is The Lookout Observatory & Gift Shop 3 miles South of Depoe Bay @ Cape Foulweather
