At The Beach

Such is a beach house with it's nautical decor! Walk anywhere in the Nye Beach District in Newport, Oregon and you are likely to run into some cool beach decor.

There is some very innovative decorating starting with this place..."The Nye Beach Seaweed Bum's Bungalows", and along with "The Sylvia Beach Hotel" on Northwest Cliff Street are two of the staples in this cool community.

Many folks pass the "Bum's Bungalows" everyday on their way to the beach or back...especially if you are going south from Sylvia's to get on the beach.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Up above is the "At The Beach Tote"! This tote bags are made from soft, durable, poly-poplin fabric and include a 1" black strap for easy carrying on your shoulder.   All seams are double-stitched for added durability.   Each tote bag is machine-washable in cold water and is printed on both sides using the same image. Look cool at the beach with one of this and a round beach towel.

Round beach towels are taking the internet (no, the beach) by storm.  This "At The Beach" round beach towels are 60" in diameter and made from ultra-soft plush microfiber with a 100% cotton back.   Perfect for a day at the beach...maybe just beach house decor!   This versatile summer essential is a must-have this season!

Newport Oregon Photography By Thom Zehrfeld

Newport, Oregon is home to some fantastic photography! Since I live in Newport I can get around to some of the best places, and at different times to capture the best.

The following photo art is available through my website: Thom Zehrfeld ArtistWebsites (link). It is available in prints, greeting cards, tote bags, throw pillows, duvet covers, shower curtains, beach towels and phone covers. Prices cover every budget.

My photography is a little different. I attempt to make my photography more like paintings than just a ordinary snapshot.

Please do not copy any of my photos without my permission. Thank you!

Below "My Lee" is one of many boats moored in the Newport Harbor. It is part of Oregon's largest fishing fleet.

The setting is early morning, on a drizzly foggy morning. Many of the boats usually moored along side the "My Lee" are out in the Pacific fishing.

This "patriotic" capture was made on Newport's Historic Bayfront! The mast of an old wooden boat along with buoys and two Old Glories.

The Chelsea Rose, a permanently docked old fishing boat is over 100 years old. It is moored on Dock 3 on Newport, Oregon's Historic Bayfront.

For years, folks from all over have been buying freshly caught fish and crabs right off the Chelsea Rose. The boat needs extensive repairs, to the point that they are probably going to send her to the boat graveyard.

When the time comes it will sadden many because it has been a landmark on the Bayfront for so many years. Next to the Chelsea are two visiting Tall Ships..."Lady Washington" and the "Hawaiian Chieftain".

The Sail Inn is located on Newport's Historic Bayfront. It is one of those quaint places you see on the Bayfront as you are strolling from one end of it to the other.

And, it is a great place to stay because you are right in the middle of all the tourist activities...cool shops, great restaurants, sea lions and fishing boats. So, they invite you to "sail inn"!

Newport's harbor is home to some cool looking fishing vessels. And, most commercial fisherman take very good care of their boats.

They have too to survive out at sea. In this scene, it's raining heavily. Most boats are in, conditions at sea aren't real great and, it is probably to dangerous to go out and fish.

"Nye Beach Bums Seaweed Bungalows" is as the name implies located in Nye Beach...a cool district in Newport. You name it "nautical-wise" and it is probably there. Rustic, quaint, big buoys, little buoys, life rings and, even an old row boat.

"Bay Street Pier" is at the west end of Newport's Historic Bayfront, kitty corner to the Coast Guard Station. It is a small pier where a cool art gallery and restaurant are located.

Folks crab and fish at the end of the pier. And, yes they catch things!

The "Embarcadero Resort" (below) is at the east of the Historic Bayfront. As opposed to the fishing boats featured up above, these are sail boats and pleasure craft.

The Embarcadero sports nice accommodations, an excellent restaurant and even a fishing charter service. This lamp, boats and the Newport Bay Bridge are focal points along their pier.

This is a capture that was made "after the sun went down"! Actually, it is sort of dark out but, the camera picked up enough light to make it an interesting shot. The Newport Bay Bridge and its reflection add ambiance.

Yaquina Bay Bridge At Sunset (Link)

This is another capture of the Newport Bay Bridge but, early in the morning. The sun is just coming over the horizon.

Early Morning Yaquina Bay Bridge (Link)

Another early morning capture of Newport's boat basin. This was taken in November whereas the sun does not come up due east and, appears to rise and set in a southeast and southwest direction.

This is the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse! Actually, Newport has two lighthouses. This one and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse.

However, the Yaquina Head one gets all the press since it is a working lighthouse and a major tourist attraction. The Yaquina Bay one is not a working lighthouse and is slowly but surely being restored. They have a nice gift shop that is ran by volunteers.

Yaquina Bay Lighthouse Two (Link)

This is the view from the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse! In the background is the North and South Jetty!

View From The Yaquina Bay Lighthouse (Link)

This is a one of a kind shot!  A lighthouse keeper in full array. They did away with the attire many years ago. And, he just happened to be out on the porch for me to photograph.

Yaquina Bay Lighthouse (Link)

The Yaquina Head Lighthouse (below) is a working lighthouse and, the most visited on the Oregon Coast. This shot was made on a late afternoon in November.  The sun is setting southwest and not west as it does during the summer months.

Another vantage point of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse.  A marvelous place to take the family and explore!

Afternoon At Yaquina Head Lighthouse (Link)

Next, is the Newport Belle, a floating Bed and Breakfast moored in Yaquina Bay on the Central Oregon Coast! It is usually closed during the winter months but, a very cool place to stay during the spring, summer and fall tourist season. Very unique!

Early Morning Belle (Link)

Another capture of the Newport Belle with the Yaquina Bay Bridge and the South Beach Marina in the background. The clouds are coming in!

This the Public Fishing Pier that goes about halfway into Yaquina Bay. The view is from South Beach, across from the Coast Guard Station and the Bayfront.

Nye Beach

The Nye Beach District in Newport, Oregon is about one of the nicest beach communities going. It's small and it consists of tremendous people, restaurants and shops...and, a beach that won't wait!

Basically, it's the tourist center of Newport. However, the rain and poor weather keeps the population well below the million mark which, if that happened, would bring chaos to this great community...the ruination of a perfect beach and place. So keep up the poor weather.

The photos here are random and are not really showing "the meat" of the community.  I'm just walking around taking pictures.

Most of my photography can be purchased through “Fotomoto” (a trusted site) in many different formats and price ranges. Just click one of the links below each photo to see all the options!

Things To Do In Newport Oregon | Nye Beach

I have been absent from my blog for awhile. Made a big change..."moved my cheese" from Oregon City to Newport, Oregon on the Oregon Coast.

A whole new world of photography has opened up for me and I will start out my posting some very early morning shots of Nye Beach in Newport. A cool, chic neighborhood and must place to visit if you come to the Oregon Coast.

The first two shots are of Nana's Irish Pub. And, not just any old pub. Great atmosphere...the food is super...try the meatloaf or, the cornbeef and cabbage...outstanding!

 The next two photos are of the "heart" of Nye Beach.

Following is the famous "Chowder Bowl"...more awards for their Clam Chowder than you can shake a stick at. And, and they have a Chili Burger that is to die for!

The following photo is a sculpture set just above the beach. There was very little light, but you can just make out the ocean and bunches of stars in the backgound.
