Newport Beach

What We Love in

Newport Beach 

From award-winning hotels, Fashion Island, a premier outdoor shopping mall, hundreds of quaint specialty shops, more than 400 restaurants, and Pelican Hill, the #1 golf resort in the world as ranked by Condé Nast, There is so much to love in Newport Beach!

Balboa Island

Balboa Island is a gem whether you drive, walk, bike or take the Balboa Island Ferry to the island. Stroll down the main street and enjoy the coastal shops and restaurants and don’t forget to stop by Dad’s Donut Bakery & Shop for a famous Balboa Bar or Frozen Banana.  

Peninsula 

While on the peninsula make sure to stop by the Balboa Fun Zone, one of Southern California’s oldest and last great coastal amusement areas. Enjoy rides on the waterfront Ferris Wheel, play games in the arcade, rent bikes, go on a harbor cruise or tour the nautical museum.  There are also plenty of shops and restaurants and, of course, Ruby’s Diner at the end of the pier.
