Anyone who enjoys oysters has heard of Newport. This Oceanside destination was made famous when seafood enthusiasts discovered the Yaquina Bay oysters. The Yaquina Head Lighthouse was built in the late 1800s and is the tallest in the entire state, which makes it another fantastic reason to explore Newport. The Oregon Coast Aquarium has been visited by thousands of patrons interested in learning about the life that thrives in water. This venue does more than just showcase fantastic creatures. The hands on displays, pathways and exhibits bring you up close and personal with the inhabitants. It really is a must see. Bay Boulevard is the place to enjoy fantastic meals, wander through galleries and even do a little shopping. With unique attractions like the Ripley’s Believe it or Not and the local fisheries the Boulevard is a wonderful area to enjoy the local atmosphere.
