Storm watching is a community sport in this rocky outpost. Locals boast about 75-mph winds that roar like freight trains. In nice weather, they drive to Cape Kiwanda to launch their dories. In winter, they can see the surf slam into sheer cliffs with explosive force. The Inn at Cape Kiwanda will let you storm-watch with your dog. At Lincoln City, just a tad south, you can get a fancy dinner and book a view room with a Jacuzzi and fireplace.
