These colorful commercial fishing vessels are docked in the Port of Newport on the Yaquina River in Oregon.
Newport is a city in Lincoln County, Oregon, United States. It was incorporated in 1882, though the name dates back to the establishment of a post office in 1868. Newport is the county seat of Lincoln County. Straddling Yaquina Bay along Oregons central coast, Newport bills itself as the Dungeness crab capital of the world. This charming little town of 10,000 boasts more than a century of history. Its oldest building is the 1871 Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, the last remaining wooden lighthouse along the Oregon coast, and one of Newports most fascinating historic sites. This structure is the centerpiece of Yaquina Bay State Park, a popular destination for Newport visitors. The park is a great setting for picnics, and its vistas of the bay and bridge. It is also the home of the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Nye Beach, Yaquina Head Lighthouse, and Rogue Ales.
