Experience the Coast Without the Crowds
One of the best things about visiting our Newport resort in the winter is having the town practically to yourself. Popular spots like Oregon Coast Aquarium, Yaquina Head Lighthouse, and the bayfront are far less crowded. This means you can explore at your own pace, linger at viewpoints, and enjoy a more laid-back environment.
Watch Spectacular Winter Storms
Winter on the Oregon Coast is also storm-watching season. Bundle up, grab a coffee from White Rabbit Espresso or Coasties Roasties, and let the ocean put on a show at places like Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, Agate Beach, or the viewpoint near Devil’s Punchbowl. No matter which location you visit, remember to follow important safety tips. The powerful waves crashing against the cliffs are beautiful yet dangerous.
Winter Wildlife Viewing
Winter is a great time for wildlife viewing. Gray whales migrate along the coast from December through early February and can often be spotted from the shore. The area’s sea lions still gather on docks near the bayfront. If you’re a bird lover, you can still see plenty of wintering seabirds and raptors around Yaquina Bay.
Cozy Coastal Vibes
After going on a wildlife viewing adventure or a walk along the beach, warm up in one of Newport’s cozy spots. Sip a local brew at Rogue Ales Bayfront Public House or enjoy a bowl of clam chowder at Local Ocean Seafoods. You can also warm up at some of the popular indoor attractions like Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
