10 Sights & Landmarks in Newport That You Shouldn't Miss
With its ideal location on the magnificently rugged Oregon Coast, the entire city of Newport is a natural observatory that offers a number of fun and educational activities for the whole family. Spend the morning exploring tide pools, combing the beach for fossils and spotting marine life in their natural habitats. Then head over to the Oregon Coast Aquarium where you can pet an octopus and walk through a glass tunnel surrounded by sharks. Newport is also home to two lighthouses, one of which is the tallest on the Oregon Coast. Historic Nye Beach, with its colorful cottages and laid-back atmosphere, is the perfect spot for a picnic and a quick rest from all the sightseeing.

Nineteenth-century lighthouse is one of a few on the Pacific coast that was built with the light-keeper's quarters in the same building.

The best educational lighthouse on the Oregon coast....Bring the kiddos...they'll learn a bunch....and you'll be surprised at how well this is presented...the "man-made" tide pools a bit of a disappointment....an example of why you should not try to duplicate Mother Nature>

I never get tired of photographing this bridge. It captures the uniqueness of the Yaquina Bay area, with fishing and pleasure boats often gliding underneath, and sometimes a rosy sunset behind it.
