Aquarium Village Newport Oregon

Within walking distance from the Oregon Coast Aquarium is the "Aquarium Village"...located at 3101 SE Ferry Slip Road in South Beach (Newport, Oregon). It's kind of a kid thing, in the decor sense...pirates and nautical things galore! However. there are some cool and unusual shops you won't find elsewhere.

So, it kinds to end up to be a family thing. You shop...the kids do the pirate thing. It's a colorful place, probably one of a kind, and worth visiting just to see the life-like pirates if nothing else.

But, before you do anything in the Village you have to visit the Fishtales Cafe and have a bowl of "Slumgullion" which is their version of Clam Chowder served with three different types of white cheese, shrimp and garlic bread...a five star experience! And, they also have wonderful Halibut Fish and Chips at a very reasonable price.
