For years we saw the sign for Nye Beach and drove right past. On our last visit to Newport we took the turn and to our surprise found more than a beach, we found a quaint shopping area with its own parking lot right by the beach.

The Arch at Nye Beach

The Parking Lot and

beach at Nye Beach

Nye Beach is not too hard to find, turn west on 3^rd street and then right in 0.3 mi. onto Coast Street. The arch will be on the left in about half a block but you won’t be able to read the lettering without getting out of your car. Our first impression was that it was a private driveway or walkway but that is not the case. Go through the arch, the parking lot is down the hill.

Places to visit in Newport

The Chamber of Commerce lists a lot of places you may want to visit in their brochure. They are, “The Oregon Coast Aquarium, Yaquina Head Interpretive Center, Lighthouse, and tide pools, Yaquina Bay

Lighthouse, Historic Bayfront, Historic Nye Beach, Mark O. Hatfield Marine Science

Center, Lincoln County Museums, Vietnam Memorial Park & Vetrans’ Memorial Commemorative Walk at Don Davis Park, Visual Arts Center, Yaquina Arts Center, Performing Arts Center, and many more family attractions.”

The thing about Newport is that the list doesn’t stop there. There are lots of unique shopping opportunities, at least 5 beaches, golf, a swimming pool, charters for whale watching, fishing, harbor cruises, storm watching in the winter, and a plethora of events through the year.
