We invite you to immerse yourself in the mysteries of the ocean. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is a world-class marine educational attraction nestled on beautiful Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. The Aquarium is a living classroom for all learning styles and ages. As one of Oregon's top tourist attractions, the Aquarium is a vital educational resource for the state, with over 40,000 students visiting the aquarium each year. The Aquarium strives to be a center of excellence for ocean literacy and plays an active role in conservation and animal rehabilitation efforts. Recognized both locally and nationally for its outstanding exhibits and educational programs, the Aquarium is the 2011 and 2012 recipient of the "Best Tourist Attraction" and "Best Summer Camp for Kids" awards from the citizens of Lincoln County, Oregon. Parents Magazine, Forbes Traveler, USA Today, 10Best(dot)com and Coastal Living named the Oregon Coast Aquarium among the top ten in the nation. The Portland Business Journal listed the Aquarium as one of the top five education-based nonprofits in the state and Spirit Magazine called Passages of the Deep "The coolest 50 yards on the Oregon Coast!"

"Sea lions acting like young teenagers by not sharing dock space and trying to intimidate others by the tone and loudness of their voices.
If human, their jeans would have been falling down showing their unders!
The pecking order was obvious to us, but lost on the youthful enthusiasm of the little g..."uys.

The reason Captins Charters are so sucessful are the Captains and deck hands. they were johnie on the spot, when any passenger needed anything they were right there. Additionally, 32mi off shore we had a fish on and the fish decided to tangle all the lines. The crew had that mess fixed..." in about 10 min and we still caught two halibut hooked. The entire boat had our limits about a 45min later and we were headed back to port. we also saw a killer whale breach on the way back.
Thank You Captains!!!!

"Nice paved trail/ramp down to the beach. Restrooms right by the parking lot. Lovely day and the smell of the sea, wonderful from the wheelchair. We tried to get a sand wheelchair for sister from the Elks club but it was a bit unstable and we were afraid she would get hurt. It was her 64th birthday a..."nd really wanted to put her toes on the water. Maybe next time.
