Cool Bayfronts

If you have been good all your life and kind to others, as a reward, may you end up on the Historic Bayfront in Newport, Oregon. It's that cool!

This is not a travel blog but, I can tell you that the Bayfront, with all its restaurants and shops, is one of many cool places in Newport to spend your family vacation. You can spend hours and hours there but, there is also the Nye Beach District, Yaquina Outstanding Natural Area, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Mark Hatfield Marine Science Center, NOAA, and if all else fails...spend all your time on pristine beaches surfing, sun bathing, walking.

The first shot here is of Ocean Bleu at Gino's. A combo seafood market and restaurant.

I photographed this at night, actually late at night because there were no cars around to spoil the scene. Too, I captured a nice silhouette of the houses up on the bluff.

Best Vacation Spots | Newport, Oregon

Maybe I'm partial, since I live in Newport, Oregon that, just maybe it's one of the best vacation spots on the Oregon Coast. There is a lot to do and there are some great accommodations to be had!

Probably the best know attractions in Newport are the "Oregon Coast Aquarium" and the "Mark Hatfield Marine Science Center". Both are located in South Beach across the Yaquina Bay Bridge.

You can easily spend a day, or even two exploring both. Then there is the Nye Beach District!

However, the focus here is on the Historic Bayfront Area which houses multiple cool restaurants, shops, fish processing plants and the largest fishing fleet on the Oregon Coast.

What I like to do is arm myself with a camera and just walk down the Bayfront and take pictures. I have done this multiple times and still come up with something new every time.

The photos here are random but, you'll get the idea!
