Smuggler's Cove Resort West

Newport, on the Oregon coast, has been a favorite tourist destination since the 1860's. The small, succulent Yaquina Bay oyster made Newport world famous, and is a popular destination for sea food lovers. Now commercially grown, visitors can buy the oysters and watch them being processed at the Oregon Oyster Company...you can even try them grilled at The Whale's Tail, on Bay Boulevard.

At the Oregon Coast Aquarium, more than 190 animal species are represented, including sea lions, seals, and a giant octopus! The aquarium also has six acres of cliffs, rocky caves, tidepools and nature trails.. Walk through the largest seabird aviary in North America, or visit the Rocky Coast Exhibit where otters splash and play! There are many hands-on displays and interactive computers to help educate you about Oregon's coast and wetlands.

Bay Boulevard is a popular tourist's area, where restaurants, galleries, and attractions such as Ripley's Believe it or Not and the Undersea Gardens are side by side.

Numerous fishing charters are available to take visitors out for salmon and bottom shelf fishing.
