As the summer crowds disperse and the Oregon Coast embraces its serene, moody allure, Newport transforms into the perfect sanctuary for a tranquil retreat. Discover the unique magic of Newport in winter, and choose The Embarcadero Resort & Marina as your ultimate off-season getaway destination. Nestled at the end of Newport’s historic bayfront, our resort is the perfect base for an unforgettable winter escape. Read on to find out why you should book your stay today.


Experience the Coast Without the Crowds

Visiting our Newport resort in winter means having the town almost entirely to yourself. Iconic spots like the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Yaquina Head Lighthouse, and the bayfront are wonderfully uncrowded. This allows you to explore at your leisure, savor the views, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.


Watch Spectacular Winter Storms

Winter on the Oregon Coast is synonymous with storm-watching. Bundle up, grab a coffee from White Rabbit Espresso or Coasties Roasties, and witness the ocean’s spectacular display at locations like Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area, Agate Beach, or the viewpoint near Devil’s Punchbowl. Always remember to follow essential safety tips, as the powerful waves crashing against the cliffs are both breathtaking and formidable.


Winter Wildlife Viewing

Winter is an excellent time for wildlife enthusiasts. Gray whales migrate along the coast from December through early February, often visible from the shore. Sea lions continue to gather on docks near the bayfront, and bird lovers can spot wintering seabirds and raptors around Yaquina Bay.


Cozy Coastal Vibes

After a wildlife adventure or a beach stroll, warm up in one of Newport’s inviting spots. Enjoy a local brew at Rogue Ales Bayfront Public House or savor a bowl of clam chowder at Local Ocean Seafoods. You can also explore popular indoor attractions like Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
