Newport
has been a playground for visitors since the late 1800s. Nestled between
the Coast Mountains, Pacific Ocean and Yaquina Bay, the natural beauty
of the area draws those seeking a unique and exciting coastal experience.
Newport's beginnings shaped two distinct areas of the town: the Historical
Bayfront and Nye Beach. During the early 1900s, Nye Beach was the number
one visitor attraction on the coast. Hot sea baths, taffy stores, and
agate shops entertained visitors from the Willamette Valley. Nye Beach
is still a very popular haven for the arts, with the Newport Performing
Arts and Visual Arts Center amidst unique galleries, book stores, eateries,
shopping and lodging.
Historically, the Bayfront
was Newport's economic backbone, housing a port for the commercial fishing
and wood products industries.
Today, the Bayfront is still home to one of Oregon's largest commercial
fishing fleets. The Bayfront is a working waterfront on which visitors
can enjoy shops, art galleries, chowder houses, restaurants, fish processing
plants and family attractions in turn-of-the-century storefronts from
a bygone era.
Newport awaits your visit. There are numerous lodging properties with terrific views, great restaurants with the freshest seafood, and a variety of meeting facilities offering full service for business meetings, planning seminars or conferences.
activities.
Visitors can see native plants and animals in controlled environments
at local aquariums and interpretive centers. Many of Newport's scenic roads and beaches are ideal for biking, hiking and jogging. Residents and visitors alike enjoy sporting activities with public facilities including tennis, racquetball, handball, swimming and golfing.
