Drove into Newport and visited the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse which is about 3 miles South of the Lighthouse by our RV beach. This was discontinued in 1873 when the one by us the Yaquina Head Lighthouse went into use. Great views of the Bay from the lighthouse. Drove around Newport and parked over at Nye Beach area that has a lot of nice shops, beachfront and restaurants. Had lunch there at the Chowder Bowl and we each had a cup of very good chowder and then split a large tub of steamed clams and a plate of lightly breaded calamari.
Went back to the RV and down to the beach for a long afternoon walk.
