Yaquina Bay State Recreation Site, State recreation area in Newport, Oregon, USA

Yaquina Bay State Recreation Site is a 13-hectare coastal park at the north end of Yaquina Bay in Newport, Lincoln County, Oregon. It holds the 1871 Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, picnic shelters with tables and grills, beach access, a fishermen's memorial and a forested bluff. U.S. Highway 101 and the Yaquina Bay Bridge lie along its eastern edge, the Nye Beach district to the north.

The U.S. Lighthouse Service built a lighthouse on the bay in 1871, but abandoned it in 1874 in favour of Yaquina Head. The land around the old tower passed to the State of Oregon in 1934 and again in 1971, and the site became a state recreation area in 1948. Civilian Conservation Corps crews laid out trails and facilities in the 1930s.

The park holds a fisherman's memorial shrine honouring those lost at sea, and the 1871 lighthouse stands beside it. The site borders Newport's Nye Beach District, and the north jetty built between 1888 and 1896 lies within the park.

The park has parking, paved paths, covered picnic tables with grills, and public restrooms, but no campground. A signed loop trail runs about 4 km through the park. The south side gives beach access, while part of the coastline is a wooded bluff where gray whales can be watched offshore.

The lighthouse here is Oregon's only remaining wooden lighthouse, and it has living quarters built directly into the tower. This makes it a rare example of this type of construction on the West Coast.
