The Yaquina River (/jəˈkwɪnə/ yə-KWIN-ə) is a stream, 59 miles (95 km) long, on the Pacific coast of the U.S. state of Oregon.

[3] It flows south, then generally west, in a highly serpentine course, past Eddyville, Chitwood, Toledo, and Elk City, and enters the Pacific in Yaquina Bay, a broad estuary at Newport.

[3] When sea level was lower than today, the Yaquina River reached to Stonewall Bank, which is split by a rocky channel.

[5] Species within the bay include cabezon, striped perch, rockfish, greenling, salmon, sturgeon, herring, and crabs.

Then come Bales, Trout, Little Elk, Eddy, Peterson, Hayes, Whitney, Crystal, Cougar, and Thornton creeks.
