Newport Attractions Newport's Historic BayfrontWith turn-of-the-century storefronts, the scent of cooking crab and artwork depicting life on the Oregon Coast, the Bayfront offers a fascinating walking tour.

This seaboard district offers art galleries, gift shops, fresh seafood markets, chowder houses, restaurants, commercial fish processing plants and markets, and is home to Newport's marine tours, whale watching and sport fishing fleet.
