Depoe Bay, Oregon - World's Smallest Harbor

This picturesque town is not only the world's smallest harbor (naturally occurring) but it is also the Whale Watching Capital of the World. Well worth a visit! [Vanessa Allyn, 05/23/2009]

[RA: The "World's Smallest Navigable Harbor" covers only six square acres. A small sign along US Hwy 101 makes the smallest harbor claim. The "Whale Watching Capital of the World" has claimants in Australia, Iceland... Depoe Bay seems content to merely be the "Whale Watching Capital of the Oregon Coast."]
