Here in Newport, life is shaped by the ocean, and sometimes, the ocean leaves behind treasures of its own. For generations, glass floats drifted across the Pacific, carrying fishermen’s nets and finding their way to our shores. Seafood in Newport, Oregon Life Shaped by the Sea In Newport, seafood is more than a meal. It is part of daily life. Walk along the working waterfront and watch the fishing fleet bring in the day’s catch. Every crab pot, every net, and every story shared on the docks connects you to the ocean that sustains our community. Move and Learn Experience Newport up close with dock tours, wildlife cruises, and hands-on science exhibits. Get a true look at the coast, its seafood, and the ocean life that makes Newport so unique. GO ON A DOCK TOUR Take a guided dock tour to step behind the scenes of Oregon’s largest fishing port.

On the Oregon Coast, fishermen, farmers, chefs, scientists, and local leaders are all connected by the same goal: keeping food local and strengthening our community. The Central Coast Food Web is helping make that happen by supporting small producers, building innovative facilities, and finding new ways to keep Oregon seafood on Oregon plates. What may surprise you is that much of the seafood served in our state doesn’t actually come from local waters. The Central Coast Food Web is working to change that, creating space for businesses to grow and making sure the coast’s harvest supports both the environment and the people who call this place home. Read the Full Story on the Oregon Coast Food Web Tidepooling with Care WATCH YOUR STEP Walk slowly and carefully to avoid slipping on wet rocks or stepping on fragile creatures. Always place your feet on bare rock instead of seaweed or pools. GENTLE TOUCH You can touch tidepool animals, but only with two wet fingers. This keeps them safe and helps protect their sensitive skin and shells. 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. Where to Tidepool in Newport, Oregon

Where to Tidepool in Newport Get your boots on and head down to the tidepools! Newport’s rocky shorelines are home to ochre stars, colorful anemones, nudibranchs, urchins, and more. These miniature worlds come alive during low or minus tides, offering an unforgettable look at life along the Oregon Coast. Plan Your Visit Tidepools are best explored at low tide, so start with a local tide table. You can find one at shops and businesses around town or check online for your location. Arrive an hour before the tide hits its lowest point to give yourself time to explore before the ocean returns. TOP TIDEPOOL SPOTS Otter Rock Marine Reserve and Marine Gardens Right next to Devil’s Punchbowl, this reserve is teeming with sea life and one of the best places to see marine creatures up close. Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area Known for its dramatic scenery and accessible tidepools, it’s one of the few places on the coast where everyone can experience tidepooling. Tidepool Etiquette These fragile habitats need our care. Please keep these tips in mind: Never remove animals or take anything from the tidepools Step carefully, moving low and slow to avoid slipping or crushing marine life Leave nothing but footprints and take only photos Keep dogs leashed and out of the pools Stay 150 feet or more from seals or sea lions. If you see a stranded animal, contact the Marine Mammal Stranding Network From the tiny crabs scuttling in the rocks to the bright bursts of sea stars, tidepools are one of Newport’s most magical experiences. Visit with care, and you’ll help protect these treasures for future generations. Check the Tide Tables for Newport
