👋 Hey, Portland

Why Choose Newport
Newport is one of Oregon’s most iconic coastal towns for a reason. Here you'll find:
What Newport’s Talking About

Seals & Sea Lions
They look similar, but they are not the same. Newport is one of the best places on the coast to see both up close, including Skinny, the world’s oldest harbor seal at the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

Agate Beach hunting
Agate Beach is named for a reason. Visitors regularly search for colorful agates along this stretch of shoreline.

Local seafood
Newport is home to the largest commercial fishing port in Oregon, bringing some of the freshest seafood on the coast straight to local tables.

Oregon’s tallest lighthouse
Yaquina Head Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon, and it is one of Newport’s most iconic landmarks.

Staying Overnight.

Newport is full of some of the most inviting lodging options on the coast. Cozy, coastal, and close to everything. We pulled together a few favorites we think our Portland friends will love.

A beloved oceanfront hideaway with retro charm, direct beach access and some of the best sunset views in Newport.
Modern rooms, great service and quick access to South Beach attractions make this a strong all-around pick.
