Nye Beach Neighborhood Architecture, History - Video
Virtual Tour of Newport, Oregon Coast
Once upon a time, Newport was more of a lumber and port town, comprised mostly of businesses along the Bayfront. The neighborhood now known as Nye Beach was then a separate resort town, known as the "Honeymoon Capital of the World," and connected only to the Bayfront area by wooden planks and mud.
These days, Nye Beach has retained its Victorian era charm and vibe, with a load of restaurants and hotels keeping their old style looks and atmosphere. The streets themselves were revamped recently to acquire a 19th century look with a modern slant.
