What to Eat in Newport | Local Ocean Seafoods

On our road trip from San Francisco back to Seattle, we made a perfect pit stop in Newport, Oregon—and our dinner at Local Ocean Seafoods was the highlight of the layover! 🚗🌊 📍 Local Ocean Seafoods Address: 213 SE Bay Blvd., Newport, OR 97365 This spot comes with some serious street cred: it has a 4.6-star rating on Google with over 4,000 reviews—so we knew we had to check it out, and it did not disappoint! 😍 Since we weren’t super hungry after driving, we focused on ordering small plates from the menu—and that turned out to be the best call. Every bite screamed “fresh from the ocean” 👅—you could taste how recently the seafood was caught, no fishy aftertaste, just pure, briny goodness. It’s the kind of freshness that makes you go, “Wow, this is what seafood is supposed to taste like!” Whether it was the tender grilled shrimp, the flaky baked cod, or the zesty seafood ceviche (we tried a little bit of everything!), each small plate shined with simple, high-quality flavors. The chefs clearly let the ingredients speak for themselves—no heavy sauces to mask the natural sweetness of the sea. And the fun doesn’t end after the meal! Once you’re done eating, you can wander over to the nearby bay and soak in the night views 🌃. The twinkling lights reflecting on the water, plus the soft ocean breeze, made the whole experience feel so relaxing—like the perfect way to unwind after a day on the road. If you’re traveling through Newport, Oregon, do yourself a favor and add Local Ocean Seafoods to your must-eat list. It’s a total local gem that captures the best of Oregon’s coastal cuisine! #NewportOregon #OregonEats #NewportFood #OregonCoastFood #RoadTripEats #TravelFoodie #CoastalSeafood
