Keep reading for helpful tips that’ll make your drive as smooth as possible.

Tip 1: Make Sure Your Car Is Roadworthy

The worst thing that could happen on your road trip is car trouble. If your drive is over an hour, we recommend taking your car in for a quick check to ensure that things like tires and fluid levels are good to go.

Before hitting the road, fill up your gas tank so you can start your trip stress-free.

Tip 2: Pack Your Road Trip Essentials

Packing for your vacation isn’t just limited to your suitcase. There are also road trip essentials that should be on your list.

One must-have is a car emergency kit stocked with items like jumper cables, a tire jack, and reflective triangles.

Don’t forget the fun essentials, too — pack your favorite snacks and drinks to enjoy along the way.

Tip 3: Map Out Your Drive

One of the biggest advantages of driving to our Newport resort is being able to stop and explore along the way.

Before pulling out of your driveway, spend some time researching your route to see what attractions you may want to visit.

For example, if you’re driving from Portland to Newport, consider stopping to explore exhibits at the Gilbert House Children’s Museum in Salem or take a ride on the historic carousel in Albany.

Kick Back and Relax at Our Newport Resort

After finishing your Oregon coast road trip, spend the night relaxing at The Embarcadero Resort.

Our well-appointed resort has everything you need for a peaceful evening. Enjoy a delicious meal at Myril Eatery & Wine Bar before going for a sunset stroll along our marina docks.

When you’re ready to call it a night, rest up in your cozy accommodation. Our Newport resort features a variety of lodging options for your Oregon vacation, including deluxe queen rooms and two-bedroom townhomes.
