Newport, Oregon

We really liked Newport.  It reminds me of both San Francisco and Monterey Bay.
LOTS of fishing boats and fresh seafood.  Aquarium, wax museum, lots of touristy stores and fun shopping, sea lions barking and a BRIDGE!

Agate Beach

Just south of Yaquina Head and north of Newport lies Agate Beach.  We stayed at the Best Western Agate Beach and had a spectacular view of the beach and the lighthouse.
