EXCITING COASTAL SEASONS

The Oregon Coast has so much to offer and each season brings unique adventures and gorgeous sights. Check out the following list of don`t miss seasonal experiences to plan your next coastal vacation!

KING TIDES
Depoe Bay & Lincoln City, Oregon King Tides
The King Tides occur annually each winter season in Oregon on the coast. A natural phenomenon and must-see, spectacular sight! They can be safely viewed directly from our Blue Pacific`s Depoe Bay, Oregon properties at The Village at North Pointe and guests return year after year to witness the splendor and mightiness of these crashing waves! The higher-than-normal tide combined with heavy winds and coastal storms can produce waves as high as 35 feet!

If choosing to leave the properties and view the waves offsite, Oregon State Parks has three tips: pick a safe spot, mind those fences, and watch your step while exploring after a storm. Remember to observe storms from a safe distance (swells can reach more than 100 feet above typical tides, be extra careful near cliffs and vistas, and never turn your back on the ocean.

Additional viewing locations:
Each year you can expect to see KING TIDES in the winter months typically between November to February, but the dates change with the lunar calendar. Here are the dates for the 2023-2024 Winter Season:
