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
