Today I went to Yaquina Head Natural Area which is located in Newport Oregon. The Natural Area is such a beautiful costal recreation park! I’ve been to Newport multiple times but this was my first time here and I would totally come again!!!

Espically earlier in the day to experience other areas of the park. 🌿

It cost $7 to enter the park for cars, they do schedule offer tours of inside the lighthouse and Day passes.

Visitors can explore the iconic Yaquina Head Lighthouse, which stands tall against the coastal backdrop. The lighthouse offers guided tours providing insight into its fascinating history and the significance it has for maritime navigation. Additionally, the area features tidal pools abundant with marine life, where you can interact with sea anemones and watch seals basking in the sun.
