Newport, Oregon is a lively central-coast town that makes multi-week stays feel like a true getaway — miles of beaches, tidepools, whale‑watching, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Devil’s Punchbowl and a bustling Bayfront of seafood restaurants, breweries and weekend markets keep downtime active and social.
For occasional city outings you’ve got the college town of Corvallis (Oregon State) and the larger arts/airport hub of Eugene within easy driving range, so coastal living with bigger-city options is practical.
