Known as the Dungeness Crab capital of the world, Newport Beach, Oregon, offers a wealth of outdoor activities to suit all ages. Hike or bike along the beach, beach comb for agates or other treasures, or fly a kite. Try crabbing or fishing from either the shore or on a charter boat. For a short hike, give the Ocean to Bay Trail a spin as it winds over boardwalks and bridges through forested areas and over a winding creek. Then head to one of these hotels to rejuvenate for your next day's activities.
