Newport

Newport has it all.

This scenic city is home to two lighthouses — including the tallest in Oregon — and beaches prime for spotting whales, bald eagles and agates in the sand. You can learn about marine life at the Oregon Coast Aquarium and OMSI’s Coastal Discovery Center; taste new brews at Rogue’s headquarters and world-famous chowder at Mo’s; or explore the outdoors with crabbing, fishing, hiking, biking and year-round surfing.
