About This Site
Newport's South Jetty, known locally as 'The Fingers,' features five distinct rock pier formations extending into Yaquina Bay. Inner fingers offer protected conditions for intermediate divers, while outer fingers provide more challenging dives with better visibility and larger marine life. This is Oregon's most popular jetty dive site with progressive difficulty levels.
