DAY TRIP Just enough time for something amazi ng! Whether you’re playing hooky or just want a quick and honest getaway, Newport has the perfect blend of activities for those who are short on time. One fun idea is to grab some breakfast, rent a fat tire bike and ride along the shore between Yaquina Head and the north jetty for an exhilarating morning. Follow that up with a late lunch and cold beer at one of our many local brew pubs, then meander down to the bayfront for a little shopping. Another perfect day may include packing your cooler, beach blankets and sand bucket for a relaxing afternoon on the beach followed by dinner and an ice cream treat in Nye Beach. Is the weather making a day outside not so ideal? Check out the Hatfield Marine Science Center, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Yaquina Bay or Yaquina Head lighthouses, or, head to Aquarium Village for a variety of shopping and activities. Next, cozy up with a warm drink and delicious food at one of the many restaurants located on the bayfront and observe boat traffic on the bay or dramatic weather patterns right outside the windows. Whatever your reason for a whirlwind adventure, Newport has many exciting options.

WHALE WATCHER Try not to get over-whale-med. There’s nothing quite as magical as spotting a whale in the wild. Whether it’s seeing them spout, breach, spy-hop or lob-tail, it’s a pretty awesome sight. Whale watching is a year-round activity in Newport; however, there are specific months in which certain whales are migrating to either Alaska or Mexico that provide a better chance to observe them. In fact, Oregon State Parks host two whale watching weeks each year, so be sure to align your visit to Newport with those dates for ultimate whale viewing. For a close-up perspective of whale life, charter a whale watching trip and journey to the open ocean. Out there you can take in beautiful views of the coast while scanning the waters around you for whale activity. If staying on dry land is more your style, visit Don & Ann Davis Park . This park has panoramic views of the ocean and provides excellent opportunities for spotting whales near and far from the shore. Another optimal place to catch whales is near Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area ; whales are often spotted here swimming close to the rocks. Once you’re done with whale watching for the day, visit one of Newport's many restaurants or brewpubs for some delicious snacks and relive the excitement of your experience.

There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh seafood, and Newport has plenty of ways for you to get it. If you’re a serious do-it-yourselfer, grab your crab pots and test your skills at one of the public piers on the bayfront, or cross the bridge and try fishing off the south jetty. FISHING & CRABBING There's plenty of fish in the sea, the river and the lake. Newport is the, Dungeness Crab Capital of the World® Visit the Dungeness Crab Trail to learn everything you need to know about crab in Newport. Let's Get Crackin'™ There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh seafood, and Newport has plenty of ways for you to get it. If you’re a serious do-it-yourselfer, grab your crab pots and test your skills at one of the public piers on the bayfront, or cross the bridge and try fishing off the south jetty. For those who prefer to fish from their own boat, you can launch your vessel at the Newport Marina in South Beach and stay at one of the motels nearby. Or, if you want to catch the fish but let someone else do the navigating, look into reserving a commercial fishing charter for some deep-sea adventures. Does this all sound like too much work? That’s okay, we get it. If you’d rather skip the fishing and go straight to the cooking, there are a variety of fish vendors located near the bayfront, or you can buy directly from the fishing boats on the docks.

Newport is full of adventure, from sandy beaches to rocky headlands. But the same ocean that makes this place special can also be unpredictable. A little caution goes a long way in keeping your day memorable for the right reasons. Follow these safety tips and you can explore without a change of clothes or a trip to the hospital. Beach Safety in Newport, Oregon Seas the Day…Safely Newport is full of adventure, from sandy beaches to rocky headlands. But the same ocean that makes this place special can also be unpredictable. A little caution goes a long way in keeping your day memorable for the right reasons. Follow these safety tips and you can explore without a change of clothes or a trip to the hospital. Top Beach Safety Tips WATCH FOR SNEAKER WAVES Even on calm days, places like Nye Beach, Agate Beach, and South Beach can see powerful sneaker waves. Always keep an eye on the ocean, these sudden waves can knock adults off their feet and sweep kids or pets into the surf. RESPECT THE JETTY Newport’s Southwest Jetty is popular for fishing and photos, but waves here can be unpredictable. Stay on paved paths or observation areas, and never climb out onto the rocks. LEAVE NO TRACE Leave rocks, shells, and animals where you found them. Carry out any trash so the tidepools stay healthy for wildlife and future visitors. CHECK THE TIDES Tides shape every activity on the coast. Whether you’re tidepooling, clamming, or crabbing in Yaquina Bay, make sure you know the tide schedule. Low tides reveal treasures, but rising water can cut off access fast. STEER CLEAR OF DRIFTWOOD Drift logs at South Beach and Agate Beach may look like playgrounds, but they’re slippery and can roll unexpectedly with the tide. Admire them from a distance rather than using them as a balance beam. KEEP KIDS IN SIGHT Currents and soft sand can make Newport’s beaches tricky. Always supervise children and keep pets leashed, especially near the waterline.
