Newport, Oregon welcomed us with a bright sunny day.
The Port of Newport Marina & RV Park is our home for two weeks. The pier in the foreground is a popular place to catch crabs.
The Yaquina Bay Bridge was the last historic bridge built to link
the Oregon Coast Highway.
Construction of the bridge took two years in 1936.
One of our favorite walks is along the south jetty channel where people
enjoy digging for clams at low tide.
Old Town Newport is an active fishing center and tourist attraction.
Past the harbor is an estuary formed by the Yaquima River
fresh water meeting the Pacific Ocean. This area attracts many birds
during the seasons.
Across the river is the new Port of Newport International Terminal for proposed future China bound log freighters.
