Newport Beach is a plush oceanside community that pulses around the busy yacht basin, Newport Harbor. It’s a wealthy, handsome community that plays on the water and invites those who visit to join the celebration of seaside living.

Balboa Peninsula, the populated barrier spit that shelters the harbor, offers nearly 4 miles of south-facing beach with two fishing piers on the Pacific Ocean, along with quieter harborside beaches overlooking the boat slips. Surfing, swimming, fishing, volleyball and just hanging out make the beaches a happening spot.

There is public parking on Balboa Peninsula and several parks with recreation facilities.

Within these nine miles of Orange County, Calif., coastline, beautiful ocean scenery mingles with manmade enticements created with the city's upscale populace in mind. Many family-friendly points of interest round out the list of reasons to visit Newport Beach.
