PNW 2023 Part 3 - Central Oregon Coast, Newport, OR

As we continued up the coast, we made an extended stop a few miles north of Newport and just a short 75 miles from Winchester Bay. We love this area! During our last two visits we spotted a lot of whales and hoped to replicate our luck again this year. The Oregon coast is lined with lighthouses and there are three of them close to Newport. There is also a lot of fishing in the area which increases our chance for more fresh seafood. Lucky us on all counts! We also planned for a couple of coastal hikes we had not been able to do on previous visits. Another bonus! The weather forecast was for great temps and we looked forward to a wonderful week.
