Newport
is a beautiful city located along Oregon's central coast. The town is situated along the Yaquina River, and sitting side by side alongside the river is two of the city's most popular attractions, the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the Hatfield Marine Science Center. Both places are a fun and educational experience for children and adults alike, and offer a fascinating look at marine life. The aquarium became famous when it became the home of Keiko the whale, from the movie "Free Willy." Across the bay from the aquarium and science center is Newport's historic waterfront district. It's an attractive blend of a working waterfront, along with cafes, gift shops, art galleries and fresh fish and seafood markets. Other attractions near Newport include the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and historic Nye Beach. Several other scenic, wide beaches provide all types of activities such as swimming, snorkeling and diving, surfing, sailing and beachcombing. And, several state parks near Newport offer hiking and biking, golf, fishing and boating, and horseback riding.

Newport Weather & Climate

|
|
The Pacific Ocean is the single most influencing factor on the climate along the central coast of Oregon. Because of the normal movement of air masses from west to east, most of the systems moving across Oregon have been extensively modified while traveling over the ocean, or they dissipate completely before reaching dry land. This also keeps temperatures at a moderate level all year long. However, the unlimited supply of moisture available to those air masses is largely responsible for the abundant rainfall over western Oregon and in the higher elevations. Also, beginning near and following the coastline, is the Coast Range Mountains, which also exerts an important influence on the climate. This range forces the air to rise as it moves eastward and the resulting cooling and condisation produces some of the heaviest annual rainfalls in the U.S. along the higher western slopes.
