Welcome to Newport Beach

Even though Newport Beach has many attractions, one of the most popular is the beaches. There are beaches on the peninsula and in Corona del Mar. On the peninsula, there is the infamous spot "The Wedge", which is great for body surfing.

From the Balboa Peninsula to Avalon, there is the Catalina Flyer. This 500 passenger giant provides the daily transportation. For residents, the Flyer is the preferred means of transportation.

The Balboa Fun Zone is a great attraction as well, offering a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, bumper cars, and several shops and restaurants. Located on the Balboa Peninsula, the Fun Zone is great for kids.

The island of Balboa is actually an artificial island found in Newport Harbor. The island was dredged and filled shortly before World War 1. Between the island and the peninsula, the Balboa Island Ferry works to transport pedestrians and their belongings.

Newport Beach also offers a wildlife sanctuary, known as the Back Bay. Nearby, Fashion Island helps to provide shopping experiences for those who like to shop and splurge.

For many reasons, Newport Beach is very worthy of a visit or a vacation. Even though it's one of the undiscovered treasures of California, there is plenty to be found here. If you've been looking for an area with lots of attractions, look for further than Newport Beach.
