Giving Back

How every Pacific View Lodging stay supports the Oregon Coast.

At Pacific View Lodging, we believe a great Oregon Coast getaway should leave more behind than memories. Through our partnership with Kind Traveler's Every Stay Gives Back program, $2 from every stay helps support local marine conservation on the Oregon Coast.

Whether you book directly with Pacific View Lodging or through Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com, your stay helps give back to this coastline, its marine life, and the local communities that make it such a special place to visit.

Travel That Gives Back to the Oregon Coast

We are proud to support responsible coastal travel that helps protect the places guests come here to enjoy. At Pacific View Lodging, that means doing our part to care for the Oregon Coast while helping guests experience it in a more meaningful way.

From tidepools and rocky shorelines to nesting seabirds, migrating whales, and unforgettable ocean views, this stretch of coast is worth protecting. Every stay helps support the future of the same natural beauty that draws people here year after year.

Supporting Friends of Otter Rock

Guests of Pacific View Lodging help support Friends of Otter Rock through Kind Traveler's Every Stay Gives Back program. Friends of Otter Rock works to help protect rocky shore intertidal life, nesting and migrating seabirds, marine mammals, and the natural and cultural resources of the Otter Rock area.

$2 from every stay** helps support conservation, education, and outreach connected to this remarkable part of the Oregon Coast. **100% of those funds are given directly to Friends of Otter Rock.

It is a simple idea we love: stay on the coast, enjoy the coast, and help care for the coast.

Explore Otter Rock During Your Stay

Otter Rock is an easy day trip for guests staying with Pacific View Lodging in Depoe Bay and nearby on the Central Oregon Coast. It is a great stop for families, nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who wants to experience one of the coast's most ecologically important places up close.

From Depoe Bay, head south on Highway 101 for about five miles, then turn west onto Otter Crest Loop and follow signs toward the Otter Rock area. It is an easy outing that adds a little more connection to the place you came here to enjoy.
