OVERVIEW

Newport is a small coastal city in Oregon, built around a working harbour, residential districts and long beaches divided by a broad bay. Seafood, aquariums and waterfront walks provide the main experiences, while nearby headlands and tide pools add natural variety. Away from the principal landmarks, waterfront gives way gradually to bay across the wider area.

Weather is frequently cool and windy, but the maritime character remains strong throughout the year. Beaches draws most attention, but bay contributes equally to the destination’s character and daily life. The relationship between harbour and coast becomes clearest when the destination is explored over more than one area, with beaches providing an additional point of connection.
