Lincoln County considers itself to be the Central Oregon Coast all by itself, although a look at the map would suggest that Florence and Reedsports should be included. Nevertheless, its many miles of sandy beaches attract so many visitors that it may deserve the title. Kite flying is popular at Lincoln City. Newport has an active fishing community on its bayfront and is also the site of the Oregon Coast Aquarium, erstwhile home of Keiko the Orca whale. Yachats is a tiny but popular community just north of Cape Perpetua.
