Make friends in Newport Beach
Opening first across Orange County, including Newport Beach.
Islands, piers and bluffs shape Newport Beach, where boats, bikes and beach chairs set the pace of the weekend. It can feel polished and established, and newcomers sometimes wonder where the regular people hang out.
Where to start in Newport Beach
- Upper Newport Bay. The Back Bay loop around the nature preserve is a local favorite for runners, cyclists and birders.
- Balboa Island. A tiny island with a small car ferry across the harbor, made for an easy walk and a frozen banana.
- Newport Pier and Balboa Pier. Two piers anchor the peninsula, with surf, sand and a boardwalk path that connects them.
- Corona del Mar State Beach. A sheltered beach below the bluffs with tide pools nearby, good for swimmers and snorkelers.
- The Wedge. The famous bodysurfing break at the tip of the peninsula, best watched from the sand unless you really know what you are doing.
