beauty of the area draws those seeking a unique and exciting coastal
experience.
Newport's beginnings shaped two distinct areas of
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, 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 abound in
Newport. Estuary and forest trails, teeming with wildlife, lead
you
through clearings to sweeping ocean and bay views. Newport's two historic
lighthouses sit atop picturesque bluffs. Beachcombers delight in hunting
for
coastal treasures such as driftwood, shells and fossils. Miles of
sandy beaches
and a moderate climate allow for year-round beach
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.
