Newport Beach Travel Guide
Map
Welcome to Newport Beach!
Nestled between Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach on California's Central Coast lies Newport Beach. What distinguishes Newport Beach from other coastal cities is the harbor. Newport Harbor contains seven picturesque islands, including Lido and Balboa, and over 9,000 boats call the harbor home. The Newport Harbor Nautical Museum features model ships and engines, interactive displays and short movies chronicling the evolution of yachting and boating in the area. Newport Beach also offers 39 mi (63 km) of bike lanes and 11 mi (18 km) of off-road bike trails. Sailing, surfing, sport fishing, cruises and wildlife watching are popular water activities. Whether shopping at Fashion Island, discovering the wetlands at the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve and Nature Preserve, dining at one of the over 300 area restaurants, exploring historic Cannery Village, or enjoying the spectacular ocean views from Corona Del Mar, Newport Beach is a marvelous travel destination.
