Yaquina Bay State Recreation Site

CURRENT LIGHTHOUSE HOURS: OPEN DAILY 12PM-4PM

Yaquina Bay State Park is located in Newport at the north end of Yaquina Bay near its outlet to the Pacific Ocean. The bluff is forested with spruce and pine, but the real star is the historic lighthouse. The lighthouse — later used as a Coast Guard Lifeboat Station — has been restored and is open to the public. Attractions nearby include the historic Newport bayfront, Hatfield Marine Science Center and the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
