Pacific Shore Resort

Rhonda Pipkin

Newport, Oregon might be a place you’d want to stop in and visit, especially if you are going to be staying at one of the Pacific Shore Motor coach Resorts.  Designed for class A and class C RV’s only, you’ll find the best of amenities when you pull into this resort. 

Oregon’s second oldest lighthouse, the Yaquina Head Lighthouse, built in 1873 stands as a sentinel overlooking the coastline.  At Newport’s historic waterfront you’ll find quaint shops, art galleries, and award winning restaurants.  Here you’ll discover a treasure trove of activities both outdoors and indoors which will endear this area to your heart and memory.  For those who think it’s too cold in Oregon during winter – temps average in the 50’s during the days, and 40’s at night;  having your motor coach and all the comforts of home will help warm you on days when the rain decides to linger.  At night while you slumber on your own pillow, listen to the waves lull you into a deep sleep. 

 

 

Pacific Shores Motor Coach Resort on the Ocean has 213 fully landscaped lots with individual concrete pads and picnic tables.  Full hook ups, dedicated on-site staff, outdoor pool for summer and indoor heated pool during winter months beckon you to go on and “get into the water” even when you can’t dip in the ocean because of the temperatures.  Beach access, hiking trails, health club, and a convenience store with deli and gift shop are just some of the highlights of the amenities you’ll find at this resort.

Like Newport, other cities and towns around this resort include Bayfront fishing, coastal drives, golfing, birding, aquatic life watching, and the list goes on.  Do you like treasure hunting?  Here on the beach access, tidal pools harbor sea urchins, sea stars, and much other aquatic life which can be seen sheltered in the pools.  Harbor seals, whales, and thousands of birds spend their days around the ruggedly carved cliffs of Oregon’s coastline.
