NEWPORT OREGON ABOUT NEWPORT OREGON Incorporated in 1882, Newport has been a vacation destination from its earliest days. The first tourists traveled to Newport to enjoy beachside hotels, hot sea baths, salt water taffy and fresh seafood. Over a century later people are coming here for the same reasons, and then some. Today’s visitors and locals alike enjoy numerous year-round outdoor activities, entertaining attractions, a variety of restaurants and unique shopping opportunities. One of the most recognizable landmarks in Newport is the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Completed in 1936, this bridge was the final link on the Coast Highway, connecting the entire Oregon coast and bringing more tourists to the area. Funded by the Public Works Administration, this historic landmark was designed with graceful steel arches and sculpted geometric pylons symbolizing progress and hope for the future. Traveling over it provides stunning views of the coastline, the bayfront and the Yaquina River. Just below the bridge sits Newport’s famous working bayfront. This is where Newport’s seafood industry flourishes and is home to canneries, processing plants, and the largest commercial fishing fleet in Oregon. Newport also boasts of being the Dungeness Crab Capital of the World; however, crab is not the only seafood delicacy available here. Salmon, halibut, cod, rockfish and tuna are popular fisheries open to both commercial and recreational fishermen. Also located on the bayfront are numerous restaurants, local retail stores and family-friendly entertainment such as Ripley’s World of Adventure. Over the hill from the bayfront is historic Nye Beach. Although most of the original buildings in Nye Beach are gone, the century-old Sylvia Beach Hotel (originally the New Cliff House Hotel) still stands proudly on the bluff overlooking the ocean and offers guests a unique and unplugged vacation experience. Nye Beach features several other beautiful hotels, eateries, shopping experiences, city parks and Newport’s beloved Performing Arts Center (PAC), all within walking distance. Newport is also home to two lighthouses. The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, built in 1871, is nestled atop a hill overlooking the mouth of the Yaquina River. Even though it is considered the oldest building still standing in Newport, it was only active for three years before it was decommissioned in 1874. Further north is the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, built in 1873. This is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon and is located on Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area which offers several outdoor experiences such as bird watching, exploring tide pools, whale watching or hiking. Whether you’re here to rest and relax, or to seek and explore, Newport has something special for everyone.

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.
