Voted one of the Nation' top 10 aquariums, the Oregon Coast Aquarium showcases over 15,000 sea creatures. Located off Highway 101, just South of Yosquina Bay Bridge in Newport, Oregon. A must see on your list of attractions in Oregon.

Jellyfish

Jellyfish live very well without a skeleton, heart, or brain. Pulsating jellyfish drift aimlessly through the water with tentacles that can grow over seven feet in length. They often provide a temporary home for young crabs and fish, which take up residency in the bell. There are many different kinds of jellyfish. Some are as tiny as an eraser on a pencil. See them on the jelly cam at www.aqurium.org When taking pictures of the jellyfish inside their tank, remember to turn off the flash. The flash will reflect on the glass and ruin your pictures.
