South Beach has an active marine science industry south of Newport
Situated between Yaquina Bay and the Pacific Ocean, South Beach is a largely residential community south of Newport. “One of the biggest deals in South Beach is Oregon State University’s marine science campus,” says Freddy Saxton, a principal broker with Advantage Real Estate, who has lived in the Newport area for about 40 years. “The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is based there, and it’s home to the marine research industry in Oregon.” In addition to a vibrant marine science scene, South Beach is home to unique communities with easy access to sandy beaches and other natural areas.

State parks and recreation sites along South Beach’s sandy coast
The sandy beaches at South Beach State Park are popular for fishing, crabbing, surfing and beachcombing. Paved bike and walking trails cut through the park’s mossy forest, while its equestrian trail begins near the South Jetty. The green space also offers a playground, an 18-hole disc golf course and horseshoe pits for more organized play. Across the highway, Wilder Twin Park has a play area for dogs and another disc golf course with baskets tucked away in a densely forested landscape. The Yaquina Estuary Trail hugs the shoreline of South Beach for almost a mile. Wooden bridges traverse swampy areas, and mudflats that emerge during low tide reveal plenty of clams. Grassy bluffs make way for sandy beaches popular among whale watchers at Lost Creek State Park.

Monthly homeowners association (HOA) fees around $285 maintain the gated community and grant residents access to its regulation tennis courts, pickleball courts, heated indoor pool and private beach access.
Homes dating back to the 1960s and 1970s in the south of the neighborhood range from $430,000 to $750,000. "The majority of lots in the Newport city limits are city-sized. As you get a few miles south, it’s easier to find an acre or a half-acre lot,” Saxton says. “I have an acre, and I have a big shop and room for the pets and kids to run around.” Homeowners outside of city limits may be responsible for their own septic systems and propane services. New traditional homes from the 2010s and townhouses with two to three bedrooms go from $415,000 to $500,000. Monthly HOA fees for townhouses stay under $100.
