About This Anchorage
A protected anchorage inside Yaquina Bay, east of the South Beach Marina. Reasonably well-sheltered from Pacific swell once past the bar, with good holding in mud and sand. Newport's Bayfront is a short dinghy ride away — the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Hatfield Marine Science Center, and some of the coast's best fish tacos are all within walking distance.
Highlights
- close to Newport Bayfront restaurants and aquarium
- good mud holding ground
- active fishing harbor — great local atmosphere
Cautions & Notes
- tidal current up to 2 knots
- commercial and sport-fishing traffic passes nearby
- anchor well clear of the marked channel
