LINCOLN COUNTY
Newport combines an active bayfront with ocean-facing neighborhoods and a long maritime history. The working waterfront around Yaquina Bay has a different pace from Nye Beach, while Yaquina Head brings lighthouse views and rocky coastal scenery into the picture. It’s a place to explore by district, comparing the waterfront, beach routes and the daily destinations that matter to you.
