A scenic picture taken of the beautiful coast and Pacific Ocean along the shore of Newport, Oregon. This picture was taken near the Yaquina Head Lighthouse looking toward the shore. The puffy clouds and blue sky add character to this picture. Newport today is a bustling coastal community of over 9,000. It's heart is along a working waterfront on Yaquina Bay where fishing fleets and fresh seafood markets coexist with galleries, gift shops, restaurants and family attractions. Across the bay is the acclaimed Oregon Coast Aquarium and the Hatfield Marine Science Center. Historic Nye Beach, 2 lighthouses, museums and wide sandy beaches provide activity for people of all ages.
