Nestled between the Coastal Mountains, Yaquina Bay, and the Pacific Ocean, Newport has been a favorite tourist playground since the late 1800s. Once a lively fishing village, Newport is a jewel of Oregon’s central coast. Get to know the local marine life at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, located on Yaquina Bay. The iconic Yaquina Bay Bridge has two observation areas from which you can see the whole magnificent coast. The 1871 Yaquina Bay Lighthouse is perched high above the coast in Yaquina Bay State Park and just next to it is a long basalt rock beach. Newport is also home to the Hatfield Marine Science Center, Pacific Maritime Heritage Center, and the popular brewery Rogue Ales. Stroll through Mariner’s Square on Newport’s Bayfront, where you can visit the Waxworks Museum, the Oregon Undersea Gardens, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
