Newport's Historic Bayfront is a fun place to visit on the Oregon Coast. You can watch the boats bring in fish, shrimp and crab, while sea lions bask in the sun on the floats. Buy fish, crab and shrimp, or eat at one of the many excellent seafood spots along the main street. Shop in the funky and unique stores in between eateries. Take a ride on the boats; go catch some fish and crab to take home. This place is fun for the whole family. Plan to get there early as parking is difficult to find if you arrive late.
