Bella Beach is the perfect home base for exploring the Oregon Coast with your besties and puts you a short stroll or drive away from many local favorite attractions. We have compiled a shortlist of some popular (nearby!) things to see, eat and discover to help you start planning a memorable weekend:

  • Start your morning right with a strong cup of coffee. Grab the girls, and head to one of our favorite spots for a brew with a view – Left Coast Coffee. Enjoy stunning ocean views as you sip on a great crafted cup of coffee. Feeling like staying closer to home? Take a quick stroll to Café C’est La Vie, Bella Beach’s on-property café. Grab a cappuccino and some decadent French-style pastries to go and enjoy back on your front porch.  

 

  • Spa or spot a spout. Enjoy a day of pampering at The Spa at Salishan. The stunning views and state of the art spa services will have you feeling refreshed and renewed. After your blissful spa stop, stroll through the Salishan Marketplace for a little shopping. We love popping into Unique & Knotty to see this cute boutique’s seasonal inventory. Looking for a little more action instead? Charter a whale-watching trip where you and your friends can spend a memorable day together marveling at these majestic mammals. There are lots of charters to choose from, but Dockside Charters, Inc. is great for larger groups.  

 

  • Lunchtime! No trip to the Oregon Coast is complete without sampling some fresh seafood. Lucky for you, there is a plethora of great options! You cannot go wrong with a stop at Local Ocean. Enjoy the freshest of fresh seafood with views of the harbor, ocean, and mountains. They also serve several delicious vegetarian dishes, and will happily prefer a gluten-free dish upon request, so there is something for everyone! See a bottle of wine on the wine menu that you would like to try? They also offer 30% off bottles to go. Perfect for toasting to an amazing day back at your beautiful Bella Beach rental. Cheers! Clearwater is also a fantastic spot for a memorable meal with friends. Make sure and leave room for their table-side s’mores! 

 

  • Explore Newport’s Historic Nye Beach. Nye Beach offers stunning views, easy beach access, boutique shops, and a vibrant art scene. Pick up a souvenir or keepsake at one of their many gift shops and discover local artists at numerous exhibitions around town. You can find works exhibited at the Newport Visual Arts Center, located at the Nye Beach Turnaround. All exhibits are free and open to the public. Also at the Turnaround, is the historic Yaquina Art Gallery and Gift Shop that occupies a former changing house for beach goers built in 1914, and the Newport Visual Arts Center (“VAC”) – a public art exhibition space.  

 

  • Wine and dine at Tidal Raves. Enjoy dinner and a view with the girls at this stylish restaurant perched on an oceanside cliff. We love their decadent Dungeness crab mac and cheese (perfect for sharing!), pacific rockfish tacos, and king salmon, served seared or Cajun-style with stone ground mustard beurre blanc, risotto & fresh crab. The restaurant does not take reservations, but the view and food are worth the wait!

Meredith Lodging has an amazing selection of Bella Beach vacation rentals that can accommodate up to 19 guests. Many of our homes have private hot tubs, and some are pup-friendly, so your dog can join in on the fun, too!

Top Tips for Planning a Whale Watching Getaway to Bella Beach Resort in Depoe Bay

Left Coast Coffee

Spring is one of the best times to witness the majestic migration of whales on the Oregon Coast. Depoe Bay is known not only as the Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon Coast… it’s also one of the best places in the world to witness these magnificent mammals.

Booking the right accommodations for your whale watching adventure is key and location is so important. Tucked in above a stunning stretch of coastline just outside of “downtown” Depoe Bay is the much-loves seaside community of Bella Beach. Offering Nantucket-style cottages with inviting front porches, community green spaces and on-property amenities including a playground, community fire pit and French-inspired café, Bella Beach is a favorite destination when planning a trip to Depoe Bay. Meredith Lodging has an extensive collection of Bella Beach vacation rentals ranging in size and price.

Ready to book your Bella Beach Whale Watching getaway? We want to help you plan a day to remember and have put together an itinerary full local favorites not to be missed.

A stop at Left Coast Coffee will have you wide awake and alert for whale spotting! Choose from a wide assortment of craft made coffee, espresso drinks, teas, smoothies, and freshly baked pastries.

There are many whale watching tours to choose from, but here are a few of our favorites:

For a fun and educational experience, we recommend Whale Research Eco-excursion.You can look forward to seeing giant whales, seals, sea lions, and seabirds on these expert-led excursions.

Since 1938, Tradewind Charters has been providing premier charters for whale watching, bird watching, and sportfishing. Known for their friendly and knowledgeable crew, and modern, fully equipped vessels, we guarantee you will have a fun, safe and memorable experience.

Dockside Charters, Inc. offers whale watching tours on their comfortable 50-foot Delta charter boats, which include heated cabins, restrooms, and indoor and outdoor seating. This charter service can also accommodate large groups, perfect for family get-togethers!

Prefer to stay on land? Head to the large viewing deck at The Depoe Bay Whale Watching Center. This facility is perched on a seawall, providing expansive ocean views, perfect for spotting whales. Park staff and volunteers are always eager to answer your questions, and will gladly help you spot whales, seals, and other marine life.

Plan A Romantic Valentine’s Getaway to Bella Beach Resort!

Café C’est La Vie

Plan A Romantic Valentine’s Getaway to Bella Beach Resort with Meredith Lodging!

Nothing says romance like beautiful ocean views, private beach access, Nantucket-style homes with inviting front porches (perfect for morning coffee or wine in the evenings!) and resort-style amenities like complimentary use of beach cruiser bikes, a community firepit and picnic area and an on-site, French-inspired café! A stay at a Bella Beach vacation rental is the perfect plan for your Valentine’s weekend! We’ve taken care of all the planning by putting together our top five Bella Beach activities for your next vacation.

Morning coffee & pastries from Café C’est La Vie – on property at Bella Beach! Surprise the one you love with coffee and pastries from Bella Beach’s French-inspired café. They are also known for their delicious sweet and savory crepes. The best part? All this deliciousness is just a short stroll from your Meredith Lodging Bella Beach Vacation rental.

Plan a picnic! Bella Beach has several perfect spots for an outdoor picnic – and the front porch of your home is always a good idea, too! We suggest picking up supplies from Coffee & Cravings nearby. They have a wide range of delectable options – and are known for their cheese and charcuterie selection. We also HIGHLY RECOMMEND Oregon Dungeness crab from our friends at Barnacle Bill’s Seafood Market. The best seafood on the Oregon Coast!

Relax and rejuvenate at the Spa at Salishan. Would you believe there is a world-class spa overlooking Siletz Bay just a few minutes from Bella Beach? Relax and re-invigorate with a spa package at The Spa at Salishan. Their facials, massages and body-treatments are off-the-charts – and the view from their waiting area is breathtaking.

Give the gift of chocolates and sweet treats from Ainslee’s Salt Water Taffy. Ainslee’s is a beloved local favorite for a reason! In addition to having what is considered some of the best saltwater taffy on the coast, they also have lots of other treats available for your favorite sweet tooth. We love the chocolates, fudge, and gummy candies, too! Say I love you in the sweetest way with a stop at Ainslee’s in Depoe Bay.

Stroll down to the private beach access for Sunset! One of the best things about Bella Beach is the beautiful path, available exclusively to guests of the resort. Many guests love to grab their beverage of choice and toast the sunset from the “observation deck” at the top of the beach stairs. No matter where you view the sunset from, it will be a romantic outing you will remember. Pro-tip – keep your eye out for our resident whales that love to splash and play for guests of Bella Beach.

Top Five Coziest Activities Near Bella Beach Resort by Meredith Lodging

For many vacationers, Fall and Winter are their favorite seasons along the Oregon Coast.  Though it is often clear and sunny during these months, as we head toward the end of the year, the chance to get to watch a spectacular Winter storm roll through increases, too.  Vacation home rentals in Depoe Bay, especially Bella Beach Resort by Meredith Lodging offer visitors lots of cozy homes to choose from for their getaway, and it’s location (tucked in between SIletz Bay and Depoe Bay) positions visitors near many places where they can tuck-in and get cozy. 

Left Coast Coffee Roasters Depoe Bay Cafe

Nothing says cozy like kicking off your morning with a great cup of coffee in a charming location and Left Coast (Meredith Lodging’s coffee partner on the coast) offers all that and friendly service from their conveniently located cafe in Depoe Bay.  Our favorite is a hemp milk latte…but no matter how you like to start your day, Left Coast is the place to go.

Spa at Salishan 

The Spa at Salishan is just a few minutes away from Bella Beach Resort by Meredith and offers a truly world-class spa experience.  When you book your appointment, make sure you leave time for the coziest part of any spa treatment – lounging in the beautiful observation room/quiet lounge overlooking SIletz Bay with a hot cup of tea.  We love to spend time here anytime of year, but the Fall and Winter Months are extra-cozy.

Side Door Cafe

Looking for a warm and friendly spot to stop for lunch?  Look no further than the Side Door Cafe in nearby Gleneden Beach.  We love to stop by on a rainy day, or any day, and enjoy a bowl of soup, a delicious pasta dish or one of their famous burgers. Make sure to make time to check out this local favorite when staying in Bella Beach.

Whale Watching from Depoe Bay

Ok, we admit, bundling up to head out to the ocean when the temperatures drop may not say “cozy” to everyone, but we would be remiss if we didn’t include this activity on a list of the best things to do when staying in Bella Beach.  The Whale Watching from nearby Depoe Bay (and Bella Beach itself) is world-famous! Visitors often find themselves in awe from seeing these majestic creatures up close and personal…or seeing them play around in Depoe Bay as they are known to do.

Your Bella Beach Fireplace/Hot Tub Home

Hands-down, the coziest place to enjoy Bella Beach is from your Meredith Lodging Oregon Coast vacation rental! From beautiful interiors that include cozy fireplaces to front porches perfect for a cup of coffee to many homes with inviting hot tubs on the back deck…your Bella Beach Resort vacation rental is the perfect place to enjoy Fall and Winter, no matter what the weather!

Wherever you like to vacation in Fall and Winter, Meredith Lodging can help you plan the perfect stay! Book online at MeredithLodging.com or call 877-778-9055 and our Reservations Team can help!
