Once
upon a time, Newport was more of a lumber and port town, comprised
mostly of businesses along the Bayfront. The neighborhood now known
as Nye Beach was then a separate resort town, known as the "Honeymoon
Capitol of the World," and connected only to the Bayfront area
by wooden planks and mud.
These days,
Nye Beach has retained its Victorian era charm and vibe, with a
load of restaurants and hotels keeping their old style looks and
atmosphere. The streets themselves were revamped recently to acquire
a 19th century look with a modern slant. |
