Newport Beach offers ten distinct neighborhoods and the west coast’s largest recreational harbor. The quintessential California city is known for its sunny weather, beaches, active and healthy community, fine dining and high end shopping.
Visit the Fun Zone on Balboa pier for classic arcade games and a historic Ferris Wheel, learn to surf, rent a kayak, enjoy a Gondola Adventure, take a paddleboard yoga class, or board a yacht for whale watching.
Duffy boat tours are a classic way to explore the Newport Harbor, or take in the view from more than a dozen dockside dining establishments. Visit Fashion Island for a luxury retail experience, or browse the independently owned shops in Laguna Beach, Balboa Island or Corona del Mar.
