Newport Beach is a vibrant and sophisticated beachfront community on the southern coast of California. Newport Beach has it all; sunning, swimming, jogging on the beach, golf, boating, sport fishing, surfing, snorkeling and much more. In fact, Newport Beach has been named one of the top 10 beaches in the U.S. Enjoy a picnic on the beach, play volleyball or tennis at one of the free public courts, or simply lay back and soak up the sun. Boating is an especially popular sport here, where you can rent everything from a sailboat to a paddleboat. Newport Beach has one of the largest and most scenic small boat harbors in the world. You may want to take the ferry to Catalina Island for the day, or take a romantic gondola ride through the canals in the Bay. Hidden behind a rocky cove is Little Cornoa Beach, which is perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving and exploring tide pools. For land lovers, there’s hiking, biking or roller-skating along the Newport Beach oceanfront boardwalk. Clustered along the picturesque shore are a number of colorful art galleries, restaurants, cafes, bed and breakfast inns, hotels, and unique shops. The sunsets are breathtaking, and there are fire rings at several locations along the beach for night time campfires. The choices are endless at Newport Beach. Your only problem will be deciding what to do first.
