7 Hikes Near Newport, Oregon, to Try
Newport and the surrounding area are home to trails that cater to everyone from the most experienced hikers to families with young children.
- The Estuary Trail at the Hatfield Marine Science Center is a mostly paved path along Yaquina Bay’s edge. This spot, which features interpretive signs, is great for birdwatching.
- Found in South Beach, the Mike Miller Park Educational Trail winds through a 45-acre coastal forest. Ideal for families and nature lovers, the path showcases the beauty of several ecosystems.
- For several trails in one spot, check out Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Here, you can find five short trails that traverse coastal bluffs and tidepools.
- Cape Perpetua Scenic Area has a trail network measuring roughly 26 miles, ranging from easy to strenuous hikes. This is a great day trip option that features several Oregon landmarks.
- The Ocean to Bay Trail, found inside Agate Beach State Recreation Site, is a roughly 3.5-mile out-and-back trail. The popular path takes you through the forest and ends at NE Fogarty Street.
- While only about 2 miles long, the Forest Park Trail is considered a more moderate hike. Some parts of the path are steep, so we don’t recommend going if you’re an inexperienced hiker or traveling with children.
- Enjoy a sandy walk amidst jetty vistas and dunes on the South Beach Trail. This is an excellent place for beachcombing and wildlife viewing.
