Where is this photo shot?

After you're done laughing at the "Elephant Tsunami Warning System" April Fools joke they've posted, take a look at the bridge photo at the top of this page and tell me where the bridge is located.

Obviously, it's on the Oregon Coast, but where? Looks like a nice scenic location.

PS - No, it's not a "quiz", I honestly don't know the location.

Jake, that's the problem, a lot of those Oregon Coast Highway bridges look alike.

However, I'm going to say that I don't think it's Lincoln City, but I could be wrong.

My guess -- Depoe Bay and the bridge over the D River
...although I can't swear to it.

The bridge is definitely at Depot Bay. However it isn't D River since D River is in Lincoln City. The bridge spans the entrance to the "world's smallest harbor."

Youngwarrior, a quick Google search indicates that he and you are correct, and you're also right about the D River.

However, you've been spending too much time around trains. It's Depoe Bay, not Depot Bay, and as far as I know, Depoe Bay has no Depot...

I too confirm it is the Depoe Bay bridge. The building on the end belongs to Oregon State Parks Whale Watching Center. There are often resident gray whales swimming around near shore and with a long lens you stand a good chance of capturing one. Better yet, hop onto one of the whale watching cruises and you are likely to see one up close.

Whale spoken here.
