The Port of Newport has several parking lots with signs directing use and permits. Parking lots at Port Dock 3, Dock 5, Dock 7, and NIT require Commercial Marina parking permits. Parking lots at South Beach require general parking permits, daily parking permits, moorage holder parking permits, and/or trailer parking permits depending on the location. Those with a season launch pass can park a truck/trailer tandom as long as the launch pass is affixed to one or the other (trailer or truck), and they’re hitched together. The following is an excerpt from the Port of Newport Facilities Code. The Port encourages all users to become familiar with the code - Facilities Code - Port of Newport
