Oregon Coast Aquarium Newport, Oregon

We had no disappointments in our afternoon's endeavor to stay warm, dry and still become acquainted with Oregon's coast. The Oregon Coast Aquarium provided the perfect one-stop shop. Inside four different buildings were tanks of all shapes and sizes exhibiting sea creatures from the sandy and rocky shores of Yaquina Bay, as well as the coastal waters and deeper regions of the Pacific. Living in outdoor homes similar to their natural environments were seals amd sea lions, sea otters and a variety of sea birds. Feeding time was a favorite time for them and for us. We rounded out our learning experience down on the waterfront by dining on very tasty oysters and cod that had just been plucked from the nearby waters. M-m-m good!
