Newport is a city on Oregon`s central coast. The Oregon Coast Aquarium, on Yaquina Bay, features local marine life, with underwater walkways and a seabird aviary. Nearby, the iconic, arched Yaquina Bay Bridge has 2 observation areas. Yaquina Bay State Park is home to the 1871 Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. A basalt rock beach and the 1800s Yaquina Head Lighthouse are highlights of the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Few communities embody the offbeat vibe of the Coast better, and Newport`s unconventional attractions, lighthouses, and aesthetic make it immensely memorable. Bordering on both the Pacific Ocean and the large Yaquina Bay, Newport is so many things combined into one remarkable place.
