Newport is a small town on the coast that is about an hour drive from Corvallis. Not only will you find some stunning views if you choose to walk along the beach, but some great shops and restaurants as well! You can visit land marks such as The Yaquina Lighthouse and the devils punch bowl, or spend some time at the Oregon Coast Aquarium or visiting the sea lions. This cozy town is a great place to visit for the day, and if you go, be sure to grab a bowl of clam chowder!
