Yaquina Bay State Recreation Site is a coastal state park in Newport, Oregon, at the north end of Yaquina Bay where it meets the Pacific Ocean. Established in 1948 and managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, the park combines shoreline access with a small group of notable features. It offers picnic facilities, beach access, a forested bluff, a fisherman's memorial shrine, and the historic Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, its best-known landmark. These elements make the site important both as a scenic public space at the bay's edge and as a place connected to Newport’s working waterfront and commemorative traditions.
