They know how to have fun in Newport Beach--there is no month that there is not some kind of festival: Yacht Race Newport to Ensenada, Newport Beach Film Festival, Newport Beach Independence Day on the Bay, Restaurant Week, Hyatt Regency Summer Concert Series, and at the end of the year the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. If you miss them all, it does not mean you will not enjoy your stay in Newport Beach: The beach itself is spectacular. The harbor is full of lovely boats, you can stroll along two fantastic piers, Newport Beach Pier and Balboa Pier, or you can surf off Wedge Beach, famous for its big waves. You'll have many great restaurants to choose from. Learn stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking at the Newport Aquatic Center in Back Bay, go hiking in Crystal Cove State Park, try wine tasting, take a sunset cruise, play golf, stroll through the city and get to know its ten distinct neighborhoods, or visit highly respected Orange County Museum of Art.
