Homes for Rent in South Beach, 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. 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
