Newport, Oregon - the Dungeness Crab Capital of the world! And much, much more! Bring your surfboard, bicycle, hiking boots, and binoculars.
Newport is an historic city that caters to residents and visitors of all ages and interests. It is a city comprised of distinct neighborhoods including Agate Beach where you can visit the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, surf, or go clamming; Nye Beach where you can walk the beach and visit an incredibly eclectic array of shops, restaurants, and lodging establishments; the Deco District which is Newport's downtown and contains art deco buildings; the historic Bayfront which is a working fishing port and home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and lodging establishments, and located downhill from Newport's other lighthouse, the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse; and South Beach which is home to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Hatfield Marine Science Center, and boat launch and fishing opportunities. Because of these attributes, Newport is often described as the most authentic city on the entire Oregon Coast.
Whatever your interest, a warm coastal welcome awaits you in historic Newport.

Newport is a funky place. Maybe it's the colorful sea life, maybe it's the creepy museums, but the town seems to have a unique kind of character - a great collision of odd attractions, natural beauty and classic qualities of the gritty Oregon coast.
It's a place, for example, where you can tour an eerie wax museum, walk out into the fish-scented air to watch sea lions fight for space on the docks, then have dinner and watch local artists perform at a quirky restaurant stuffed to the gills with modern art. There are several strange roadside attractions, a few incredible restaurants, two old lighthouses, one of Oregon's most popular craft breweries, and a hotel where you can book a Harry Potter-themed room.
There's so much going on in Newport that it's stellar natural beauty - often the main attraction in coastal towns - tends to play second fiddle. You should, by all means, visit beautiful Yaquina Head, but you may find your time occupied at Ripleys Believe It or Not! The local Chamber of Commerce advertises the town as "the coast you remember" and while that's a pretty bold declaration, it's practically impossible to visit without taking away a lasting memory.

Hello Everyone. Welcome to the City of Newport which is located on the central Oregon Coast. Hope you enjoy our tour.

Safe Travels.
Never tell people to " stay safe" it is more
appropriate to say,
" remain obedient" ..And I am not talking about mask mandates or social distancing here..
Especially on the Oregon Coast, the ocean itself, the beach, jetties, tidepools, and rocks have exactly one thousand, seven hundred , and two ways to kill ya' .. And yes, I have counted. So when you see all those warning signs posted..they are not suggestions. Never turn your back on the ocean. Sneaker waves are not. a joke. But for all her danger..she is only all the more alluring.
@@sissyrayself7508 oh there is no doubt it can be dangerous. Thanks for the comment.
All anyone has to do is call in your order in first at South Beach Fish market while you are in the parking lot ask for it to go they will call your name out in five minutes you will walk past the whole crowd of possibly 10 to 30 people .now watch how many people glare at you while you walk past them .Lived in Newport since 1981,mostly in south Beach .and that's the secret to great service
👍. Love it. Now that is why we love viewers commenting. We always learn great tips and tricks. Thank you for that Marc.
I grew up there and my mother was President of the Chamber of Commerce when she and my family created the Seafood and Wine Festival, and just about every other festival during the 70s and 80s.
Wow that is incredible especially since that festival is still going strong today. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I visited that place during my stay in Oregon it will forever stays in my memory. It has its charm that I can’t describe it feels authentic in a way. I can’t wait to go back to Oregon I’ll definitely stay there in the future I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest.
Can’t agree more. It is definitely a charming town. Excellent description.
finally someone knows who we are
btw the fish and chips place is right next to my house
Ya we are locals that have been visiting for decades.
Wow nice your country
Thank you.
Love Newport. Great small coastal town. Seeing the sea lions is the highlight.
Yes the sea lions are great.
Newport is a fun town. Lots of options.
Agree. So much to do. We recommend at least a few days to experience what it has to offer.
Thank you for the Newport Oregon trip at 68 I was born in Tillamook lived in Lincoln City and visited Newport many times I'm living in Pueblo Colorado but haven't been back to my home state for years you made me home sick and yes the Halibut is sooo good thank you love watching you two,Mike Crow.
Thank you Mike. Really appreciate that. Glad it brought back some great memories for you. Never been to Colorado but it looks beautiful
My favorite little town from Canada to California. Newport is awesome, and the area is breathtaking
Can’t agree more
Thanks for the video. My wife and I have considered living on the Oregon coast for a while; between the video and the bulk of the comments, our list of possible towns has narrowed significantly.
There are so many great towns along the coast. All a little different.
@@adventuresofjandk Although the weather seems to be more inclement than in our current home in Bodega Bay, Newport is the town we are focusing on.
@@ipwee great town if you are looking for something a little busier on the Coast. Newport and Lincoln City are definitely the two busiest towns being so close to Portland but that brings a lot of restaurants, shopping, etc. The area near Nye Beach is nice.
I live north across the border in British Columbia and Lincoln City is like my second home. But whenever I am in LC I must always visit Newport a gem on the Oregon Coast. I have also walked across that bridge at Yaquina head.
Thanks for the reply Derek. Newport is a great City indeed.
Yes..it is a great area to live.
Gorgeous sunset and beer. Thx for sharing.
It was a great week. Heading to Yellowstone in a couple weeks so that should be a great time.
Well I'm jealous,. I love Yellowstone. Cant wait to see the video.
@@oobiegoobie940 haven’t been since I was a young kid so it will be all new to me.
I grew up in Salem and my grandparents lived in Newport. Thanks for your video! It brought back so many fun memories! Love South Beach Fish Market. Yum!
Awesome to hear. It is a great place to visit.
You got some great shots! and the food looked so good. haha
Thanks Joe. Definitely one of our favorite spots on the Oregon Coast for seafood.
as you mentioned,....we also have been to Newport many times, but never checked out Nye Beach....thanks so much
Our pleasure. Thank you for watching and commenting.
You’re welcome
❤️my hometown❤️
You have a good one. 😀
Yes, you said Yaquina right. Just today I've heard it wrong twice. Aleast, if no one changed in the last 60 years.
😂. Ya we are local so hopefully we pronounce it right.
Thank you guys for taking us places we are not able to go. It was beautiful and we love Fish and Chips. Love your Lance also.
Thank you so much Jim. Really appreciate that.
Great agate find.
Agree
Most enjoyable. Thanks for sharing this very good video
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Thank you for this great video showing off Newport, we go every time we are over from the UK. Really enjoyed it and the photos.
Thank you for watching. We love visiting. Would love to get to the UK at some point in our lives.
Well, I live in the bottom left corner of the UK in Cornwall. I describe Oregon to friends as like Cornwall but on steroids.
@@Philhellene1 😂
I have been in UK.
To the following areas..
Malverne Hills
Aylesbury
Canterbury
London
Redding
Surrey
Yorkshire area?
( please forgive me if I spelled any of those incorrectly or confused the name of an area).
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to your ancient and storied land.
I am glad you found Newport Oregon enjoyable.
@@Philhellene1 good description.
Great pictures thank you for sharing 😊
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
We love Seal Rock. We stay at a place called The Beach House, easy easy access to 5 miles of beach.
That is a great area. So close to so many awesome things to see.
I've been to there when I was young. I wonder if he doing well my friends.
We love Newport.
When I was in seventh grade, my father worked on the dipper dredge that built the jetty’s in the bay at Newport. It was the best Summer of my life when my mom and I came and stayed in our travel trailer as we lived about 60 miles away when dad had a job there. The money was too good for him to pass it up. I am now 67 years old and when my husband and I go to Newport, not much has changed. It looks just like it did in 1967. Nye Beach and the waterfront area is where my new friend and I would ride all over the town on his mini bike. When times were great! No helmets and not hassled by anyone for riding around on the streets. Hitting up the candy store in Nye Beach and just having fun being kids. I still have some fossil clams and huge agates that my dad dug up on the dredge. He warned me to never walk on the jetty’s no matter if the water looks still or not. People have been swept off of those from the sneaker waves and washed out to sea.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s always something we love about visiting certain towns. It’s the story’s.
Last time I was in Newport was back in 2014, and I really need to get back there. Walked over the bridge many times with no fear of cars. Walked from Nye Beach to the North Jetty, long walk but worth it. I could almost live there, if I had the money. I really miss the ocean, living so far from it in Wyoming. Nice video but too short. P.S. Ever time I've gone to that Light House its been foggy. But I will go back, next time I'm at there. P.P.S. My Grandmother, Cora Wetter, belonged to the Art Guild at Nye Beach, and even though she is gone, some of her works are still hanging there.
Thank you. We try to make them longer when we can but also try and take out things that don’t seem too entertaining. Appreciate the feedback. We will work on that.
Great vid guys packed with loads of info! That bridge walk was a bit questionable 😂. keep it up 💪👌
Thank you. I would agree walking that bridge was indeed questionable. Not the highlight of the trip. 😂
Halibutvfish and chips. The greatest and not to expensive. I drove all the way from Corvallis just for this.
We don’t blame you. We drive from Portland just to eat there sometimes. 😂
Spent part of my honeymoon in Newport, amaaaaaaaazing place!
We agree. Would be an excellent spot for a honeymoon
I just started watching your adventures last night. I really enjoyed them ALOT! 👍 So here I am again today watching again. I'm sharing this to my fb page. You got me hungry for tuna melt as well on one of your stops, so I went out and bought tuna! Hahaha! Safe travels ♥️
Sandra Oldman thank you Sandra. That is so nice of you. We are happy to have you.
I live on the beach in newport and work in nye beach.... Always amazes me how much people love it here. . .I guess I'm just a little bit too used to it.
Ya we’ve been visiting for 20 plus years. As a photographer I love it but I could see how it could wear on someone after awhile. Same with we’re we live.
Newports pretty decent, but the real beauty is around Charleston/coos bay away from all the tourist trap you see at every coastal town. Sadly High Tide cafe is no longer there, they had the best clam chowder I've eaten in 82,000nm of sailing.
I would agree it gets more beautiful the further south you go.
I do miss Newport!
And it misses you. Come visit.
Me too!
I love and live in newport
Great coastal town.
@@adventuresofjandk I know
Newport is the best. That bridge is hairy to cross. You should check out the hike up to the communication tower inside the park headed to Yaquina Head lighthouse if you haven't before! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the advise. Will definitely check that hike out.
@@adventuresofjandk I actually am dropping a Communication Tower Weather Report right now. Check it out to see what you're in for!
Another god place to see a view is Sanctuary Hill. I like it when all the Scotch Broom is in bloom.. in the springtime.. Looking down the East Side of the hill i it is a sea of yellow.. ( the Tsunami evacuation trail from The Rouge Brewery takes you to this place).
Whatever me and my family go to the beach we go to newport
It’s a great little town isn’t it?
I live in Newport Oregon
Great town.
Epic Photos at the end. Can't wait to check it out. Pre Covid was planning on a trip down the coast to the redwoods and back. Take two weeks to do it but with covid, the fires and trailer problems don't think it will happen this year.
Thank you David. 2 weeks would be ideal and that would be an awesome trip. We drove the whole coast in 2 days to see if we could it. That wasn’t fun. 😂. Don’t blame you one bit about traveling right now though. Hopefully we can find a way to get back to normal sooner than later.
Don't give up.
Funny video in parts, but I enjoyed those stills you shot. I was just there from Boise and ran into this looking up Newport. Nye beach was nice. Keep on inspiring, thanks.
Thank you. We appreciate that.
I worked in the Boise School District. ( well actually Meridian)..for YEARS and all the students "what I did this summer" essays in the fall, when they returned to school from summer vacation, were almost all...with few exceptions..about their families trip to The Oregon Coast. I myself was a Boise Native who loved Newport so much..I MOVED there.
@@sissyrayself7508 seems it would be a great place to live for a few years. We love Bend as well.
@@adventuresofjandk Bend is closer to my family. Bend is a pleasant little town. Kinda like Boise was 25 years ago. But Bend is super expensive.
@@sissyrayself7508 yes the housing has gotten out of control for sure.
Nice video. I've been to Newport and Nye Beach twice now and I didn't want to leave lol. I live in Bend so not too far away. Didn't think about camping there but will definitely look into it, especially in the summer as the hotel rooms can be a bit pricey.
Ya there is no doubt about hotel pricing in the summer. Hard to book camping as well but if you book far in advance then no issue. Appreciate you watching
A long comment from an ex- local:
I watched all your ads because I want you to make money off of this video. .. if possible. I saw that this is more recently made than other Newport Oregon videos I have seen. I could tell it was pretty recently made because you had a mask on in front of the Ripley' s Believe it or Not Museum in the Bayfront.
About food in Newport:
I used to love the clam chowder at Canyon Way Restaurant..But after the shutdowns, they went under. However, the chowder at Nana's Irish Pub in Newport in the Nye Beach District is just as good. I like to say that they put a little chowder in amongst the clams. Now about that famous Mo' s chowder, I am sorry to say.. Mo' s USED to be good..... Back in the 1990' s..Now it is just mostly potatoes.
About the sand dunes on the beach:
The beach in Newport is a different beach every day, especially if you live there for a year and observe it. In the winter the changes from day to day in the sand shifting,, not to mention the piles of driftwood that can make tangled drift wood cities on the shoreline after a storm. They are often up to two stories tall.. it can be mind boggling.
Best time to come for good weather:
Real local tip. The best temperatures. ( in the 70' s every day ( is usually ALWAYS to be found in Mid to lateOctober and at times early November.).
Most scenic route:
The best way to see the coast is start in Depot Bay and travel UP the coast to Yahacts..or start in Astoria and go down. Once you hit Florence the scenic ocean views are pretty much over but the fun to be had in Florence is all about the Dunes..
Overall:
Newport is the best all around for scenery, entertainment, food.... Lighthouses..and ..yes..it IS The Friendliest town on the coast.
I have lived in:
Eugenre ( 1.5 years)
Newport ( 2.5 years)
Corvallis/ Albany (1.5. years)
And now I am in Bend. ( since December 2020)
Of all the places..I must admit, I loved Newport the MOST. Newport is a great place to visit..a lonely one to live in though.
I went there to write the great American Novel.. Somehow I never found the time.. My job as a Special Education Aid at Yaquina View Elementary kept me too busy. I never tired of driving back and forth over that Bridge from my home in South shore, .but I certainly found the loneliness and the inspiration in the landscape. The quiet of the great expanse of the ocean as I traversed the bridge. I thought every day about the man who designed and built the Bridge, as well as what life had been like for the generations of people from the time before white man sailed into that port in Cape Foulweather, I oftenhad dreams about the Lightkeepers family at Cape Perpetua, what must that have been like..to LIVE there..then?I thought about them all..every day..all their ghosts had lunch with me every day, for a half an hour a day, in the teacher's lounge, while I ate my tuna fish sandwich in silence. Right on through until today. The people still cling to that bay..the bridge still stands. The Tsunamis still threaten.. Somehow I never could get their story down on paper.
Then again..Hemmingway said he could not write about Paris while he was actually in Paris. He has to go to Idaho to write about Paris.
Wow what an excellent post. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide that information.
@@adventuresofjandk no.. Thank You Both for your video. You will never know how much this has INSPIRED me. I just now wrote more than I have since moving to Bend. Just know that great art does that.
The memories you brought up in me were like a bird flying into the window...woke me right up...thank you.
@@sissyrayself7508 if it helped to inspire you then that is awesome.
I enjoy your videos. We have not visited Newport. Any recommendations for where to camp?
Thank you so much. Yes South Beach is fantastic. We posted a video just about a week ago on it. It’s the best place to stay in the area in our opinion.
There are several places for trailers and motor homes scattered all around from north to south of Newport, not sure about tent camping.
Yes there are lots of options.
i walked the bridge and somebody hit me in the back with an egg, it's a nice walk but it ruined the experience getting hit by the egg thrown from a passing car.😡
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately there are people like that in the world.
Sophia bring me here..
is the wind cold in the summer?
Yes. If you want less wind and more consistently warm days..go in mid to late October..
No. Not at all. Summer is pretty much perfect
How the heck can Newport Oregon be the Dungeness Crab Capitol of the world for a crab that is named after Dungeness, WA?????
Good question
Maybe Dungeness Wa was named after the crab....
@@sri2102 very well could have
Believe or not, I actually live here, right down the street from walmart
Awesome. Great town.
Indeed! I was born and raised here as well
@@jacobolson7593 lucky. We get there a few times a year and still continue to find new things.
Hi. I used to live in South Shore. Miss Newport.
I clicked here to find out about Newport Oregon; not watch a 17 minute close-up vanity selfie.
There are plenty of other options on CZcams. Happy hunting.
@@adventuresofjandk It should not be necessary
@@jetsgardner5490 I’ve got an idea. How about you invest your time, energy and money and make your own videos and do them how you see fit. This is the type of vidoes we make. Some like them and subscribe and some don’t. Best part is the more you comment the more it helps the algorithm push this video for us so thanks.
@@jetsgardner5490 and FYI we have another video or two on Newport as well. You might want to skip those. 😂
@@adventuresofjandk By clicking on the bell icon while on another separate video, not this one, I can effectively read, reply ect, without adding to your click count.
Ya-kee-na, not ya-kwi-na.
👍
How's the mask demek are all the stores shops restaurants requiring masks?
All restaurants, shops, and lodges require masks.
@@adventuresofjandk that's a bummer that takes all the fun out of going on vacation to the coast for me I can't wait for everybody to wake up and realize this is about Freedom not covid
@@joecrocket7873 you’re a moron.
@@bittergrapefruit5274 whatever floats your boat go give joe a big sloppy kiss for me and tell him you love him but make sure your mask is on when you do it

" drunk the Kool-Aid". Remember..it is not enough to " stay safe" we must believe the TV.. And at all times...in all things..we all must.remain obedient. Do not question the authorities. Trust your government. Always. And in the future you can tell everyone.. " I was just following orders."
If you obey, they will let you have your bread snd circuses.
Can u order milk
Sure
Wearing masks outside. People are neurotic (and afraid). Sad. Problems with wearing a mask:
1) rebreathing CO2 increases carbonic acid in the blood (changing blood pH to be more acidic) causing respiratory acidosis-which may lead to metabolic acidosis depending on compensation.
2) masks harbor bacteria. Warm, dark, moist environments (like the inside of your mask) grow bacteria. Masks are only supposed to be used for like an hour or two and tossed. But people reuse their disgusting masks increasing their chance of having a bacterial or fungal respiratory infection-which is worse than viral infections and mostly require antibiotics therapy.
3) many medical masks are effective against droplets and have decent filtration (N95 especially). Cloth masks are a joke as viruses are very, very small (you need an electron microscope to view SARS-CoV2, for instance). Touching your mask, lowering it under your chin, man-you have to realize and understand how germs spread. Your mask is a fomite.
4) many disposable, Chinese masks have residual ethylene oxide and formaldehyde (carcinogenic) which are unacceptable in many health quality standards.
5) masks have become an environmental nightmare. Masks have been the #1 littered thing in the entire world-found in creeks, seas, etc. Prior to COVID, Environmentalists cried about the oceans containing plastic junk islands the size of small countries. Masks and gloves have compounded that.
6) Socially, we respond to body language and facial language. Wearing a mask creates a social barrier not only politically, but psychosocially. It also creates barriers to people who are hard of hearing, which is primarily the elderly.
Ya it’s getting a little bit ridiculous. My favorite is those in cars by themselves wearing one, I like to call them lemmings.
My family worked that bridge.... freaks and weirdos....be careful.
Oh we’ve seen them. 😂
South Beach fish market is a RIPOFF. Most of their food is canned and from China. Prices are high and food is AWFUL. You want good food at decent price go to Newport Cafe, downtown Newport. Another great place is DORYS, south end of Lincoln City on the 101. My wife and I go to Newport from Springfield several times a year.
Thanks for the recommendations. We love the fish and chips from the fish market. Never had an issue with the food.
I live in Newport Oregon
How do you like it? Any tips for anyone traveling through?
