Visit Newport’s Bayfront, a bustling historic district east of Hwy 101, and home to Oregon’s largest commercial fishing fleet. Today, a drive up the scenic Yaquina Bay Road is a journey back in time. Stroll along the popular turn-of-the-century waterfront with its shops, galleries, fish processing plants and visitor attractions. Bayfront restaurants boast the freshest seafood available. With so much to do in the area, Bayfront makes a great base, so spend the day and then stay the night at one of the area’s many hotels, condos or bed and breakfast inns. Bayfront is only a few blocks off Hwy 101, and historic Nye Beach is within walking distance.
