Oregon's Historical Newport Bayfront: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Welcome to the Newport Bayfront, where the sea air smells like a mix of fresh Dungeness crab and boiling sugar. This self-guided audio tour isn't just a scenic stroll; it’s an invitation to see the real Newport. We’ll start your loop at Port Dock 7, the beating heart of the commercial fleet. From there, we’ll dive into the stories that most visitors walk right past. You’ll hear about the Graveyard of the Pacific and the brave Coast Guard crews who watch over it, but you’ll also see a massive 165-ton block of concrete that floated all the way from Japan and a mural with a secret hidden in the details. Between the bickering sea lions and the legendary piles of saltwater taffy for sale in the local candy shops, we’ll also share personal recommendations for the best restaurants along the way. The tour ends back at Port Dock 7, where Local Ocean Seafoods lists the specific boat and captain behind every dish on the menu.
