Vacations are all about relaxing and escaping everyday life for a little while, and nothing says relaxation quite like a day at the beach. Planning a beach day for your next Newport, Oregon getaway doesn’t mean your shoreline time has to be boring. There are plenty of activities that blend relaxation with adventure. If you’re staying at The Embarcadero Resort & Marina, keep reading to discover some of the fun that awaits you.

Choose Your Beach

Before deciding what to do, you’ll want to choose where to go. Several beaches are close to our Newport resort:

• Agate Beach State Park (north)

• South Beach State Park (south)

• Cobble Beach, part of the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area

• Beverly Beach State Park

• Ocean Shore State Recreation Area

• Nye Beach, one of the most well‑known beaches in the area

Once you’ve picked your spot, it’s time to plan your day. While every beach offers its own charm, some are especially well‑suited for certain activities.

1. Hunt for Agates

Search for agates at Beverly Beach, South Beach State Park, or Agate Beach. Low tide is the best time to look for these colorful stones.

2. Explore Tide Pools

When the tide recedes, head to Cobble Beach or Nye Beach to see what sea creatures you can spot in the tide pools.

3. Fly a Kite

For wide‑open space and steady winds, visit Moolack Beach, accessed from Beverly Beach State Park. This hidden gem gives you plenty of room to run and launch your kite.

4. Try Surfing

Test your skills at Agate Beach, a year‑round favorite thanks to consistent breaks and space for both beginners and experienced surfers. Rent a board or take a lesson from Ossies Surf Shop.

5. Watch the Sunset

Newport’s beaches are perfect for catching a breathtaking sunset. Bring a blanket and relax as the sun sinks below the horizon, or enjoy a peaceful walk along the shoreline.
