Yaquina (/jəˈkwɪnə/ yə-KWIN-ə), at one time a thriving port called Yaquina City, is an unincorporated community in Lincoln County, in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is near the mouth of the Yaquina River, on the east side of Yaquina Bay, and is a 3-to-4-mile (5 to 6 km) drive from Newport.[2] The Oregon Press Association, which became the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, was founded in Yaquina City in 1887.[3]
