Newport is home to many unique shops, boutiques, and art galleries. On top of this, the region has top quality seafood, produce, and wine; shopping for Oregon wine is a growing trend while its seafood market has always been popular. Take advantage of the farmer's market which runs May through October on Saturdays at Highway 101 and Adler Street.

Shopping for art is an easy feat in Newport. For starters you can head to Rickert Art Center or the Rickert Art Gallery. Their two locations feature many beautiful prints of the area. For more options on the region's scenery and great lighthouse prints, head to Forinash Gallery. Glass work is the specialty at Pyromania Glass, the gallery has daily live glass blowing to watch and learn from.

Newport is known for being crazy about kiting and having the perfect weather for it. Visit the Kite Company if you want to join the crowd, chances are you'll be able to find an original kite to stand out.

Another favorite shop is Facets Gem and Mineral Gallery where you can ooh and aah over the beautiful gems and maybe find some of your own to take home.
