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.

Sealife Checklist for Your Visit HATFIELD MARINE SCIENCE CENTER Our hub for marine research, education, and public discovery. Visitors can explore interactive exhibits, meet scientists, and learn about Oregon’s coastal ecosystems, fisheries, and ocean conservation efforts. It’s a perfect stop for anyone curious about the science behind the sea. Visit the Hatfield Marine Science Center Keeping Oregon Seafood in Oregon Seafood is only one part of a much bigger story. 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
