Newport Beach (Corona Del Mar)

Home to an expansive beach area you're sure to fall in love with.

Welcome to Newport Beach

 

A peaceful beachside haven overlooking cliff-side views

One of Orange County's most popular cities, Newport Beach is home to an expansive beach area you're sure to fall in love with. This majestic land was originally maintained by the Tongva people, who still oversee its livelihood today. In the 1900s, Newport Harbor was built to support the local fishing industries and build boats for sailors. Today it serves as a recreational harbor for sailing, kayaking, fishing, and many other forms of oceanside entertainment.

Corona Del Mar is a small city filled with quaint shops and restaurants and gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and the San Joaquin Hills on the other. Also known as "Crown of the Sea" in Spanish, it lives up to that name with its shining example of everything a seaside town should be. Its rustic beach resort aesthetic, in addition to modern shopping/dining establishments, continues to attract new residents from around the country.

Driving down the Pacific Coast Highway, you'll see traditional ranch homes located on Flower Street and Newport Terrace. Modern homes are being developed in Harbor View Hills. Regardless of architectural style or location, every home in Newport Beach offers endless beauty, whether it’s ocean or cliff-side views.

Local Lifestyle

 

Newport Beach is a tranquil, picturesque suburban area with many ranch-style houses and beachside cottages. The area’s close-knit communities make it easy to form lasting friendships with your neighbors. The beaches are always kept neat and clean, and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance from the shoreline. There are also many tree-lined paths to enjoy as you jog or simply explore the area.

Dining, Shopping & Entertainment

 

Fashion Island is an outdoor mall housing several premium retailers surrounded by beautiful flowing water fountains. With an on-site movie theater and several exquisite restaurants to visit, you can easily spend hours here.

If you'd rather spend the day out on the ocean blue, Duffy's Boat Rentals can provide you with luxurious sailing accommodations. Afterward, visit Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar for some of the best lobster and beef dishes on the West Coast. Another local favorite is the Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens. This restaurant specializes in fresh farm-to-table cuisine, overseen by Head Chef Rich Mead.

Things to Do

 

The Corona Del Mar State Beach is half a mile of grand ocean scenery, with plenty of room for swimming and surfing. The tide pool area is a popular hotspot for divers and is teeming with beautiful seashells, rock formations, and marine life. The Wedge is possibly the most famous bodysurfing spot in California, which sees massive swells as high as 30 feet.

A short walk away from West Oceanfront is the Ocean Front Walk, one of the region's most renowned boardwalks. After you're done at the beach, feel free to take a walk inside the Sherman Library & Gardens. These botanical gardens are home to several species of exotic flora, including 100 types of flowering palm trees. Guided tours are available, and the staff regularly schedules scavenger hunts and yoga practices on the property.
