Most of the time, you will find Rock Crab in Depoe Bay as shown in the picture. There is a 24 limit regardless of size or sex. Crab season is year-round in Depoe Bay. The crab is a saltwater creature. Beginning in September, crabs will tend to be more “filled out,” meaning there is a higher percentage of quality meat.

Depoe Bay has the World’s smallest bay in the world and attracts thousands of visitors each year.
The Spouting Horn is next to Highway 101 will shoot a stream of water up to 40 ft in the air. It’s at times nicknamed a “blowhole,” but spouting horn is a more correct label. It’s the result of a fissure in the rocky ledges just below the sea wall at Depoe Bay, which funnels the heavy waves into a tinier and tinier space, eventually compressing the energy of the wave into such a small space it releases in an upward spout. Certain tidal conditions have to be met to create this effect – the waves have to be sufficiently large enough. This isn’t a problem during much of winter and spring, so you’ll find plenty of explosive spouting action during these times of the year. It fires into the air abruptly, sending sea water 20, maybe 40 feet high without warning. Looking like some white version of the Black Smoke Monster from LOST, its presence is dramatic, startling and awe-inspiring.
Depoe Bay is the only town on the Oregon coast with a “spouting horn” in its downtown. Most of the other spouting horns exist in places outside any city limits, and they are few and far between (there are two in upper Lane County near Yachats and two at different ends of Yachats – and that’s mostly it).
Depoe Bay’s location is ideal as it is just minutes from some of the most productive fishing for nearshore of deepwater complex rockfish species along the Oregon Coast. Anglers fishing out of Depoe Bay and Yaquina Bay have the highest catch ratio of rockfish per angler on the Oregon Coast according to statistical catch information compiled by the National Marine Fishery Service.
Depoe Bay Crabbing allows crabbing and fishing from the port docks from one half hour prior to sunrise and one half hour after sunset. Since Depoe Bay has a rocky entrance, more Rock Crab will be found, than Dungeness Crab. All the crabbing equipment must be removed from the docks during prohibited hours.
Lifejackets are required to be worn by children under 14 years of age when crabbing from the port docks but you must provide lifejackets for them. Lifejackets can be rented for http://www.SiletzRentals.com
You cannot Crab all the time, so the Traveler wants to give additional ideas for things, that as native Oregonian and a permanent local resident, likes to do in Depoe Bay. That is not to say they are the best or only things in Depoe Bay but are from the perspective of a permanent local resident.
Tidal Raves Restaurant – CLICK HERE This restaurant has wonderful big windows that provide views of the Pacific Ocean and the Whales. People drive out of their way to go to the “Tidal Raves” restaurant. It easy to find the restaurant because it is right on highway 101 and the parking lot will be full, and people are parking along the highway. Be sure to call EARLY for a reservation and ask for a window seat.
The seafood is wonderful, and they had a great selection. The prices were very reasonable. Our favorite dessert is breaded pudding with bourbon sauce.
