Newport Beach

NEWPORT BEACH

Newport Beach is located 50 miles south of Los Angeles and 85 miles north of

San Diego in Orange County. With nearly 22 square miles of ocean and bay,

including several islands, the city offers the greatest variety and number of

restaurants with water view dining in all of Orange County.

A Community of VillagesTravel from the east to the west side of the city - or the north end to the south

end - and you will get a fl avor of the distinct residential and commercial areas

that combine to make the City of Newport Beach one of the most attractive

communities on the west coast. Newport Beach is known for its “villages”, each

with its own distinct character and appearance. They include:

Balboa Peninsula: The Peninsula is a three-mile stretch bordered by Newport

Harbor on one side and the Pacifi c Ocean on the other. It’s famous for “the

Wedge,” arguably one of the best bodysurfi ng sites in the world and the Ocean

Front Walk, one of the region’s most popular boardwalks. At the foot of Newport

Pier lies the historic McFadden Square, named for the family that helped found

the city and the Dory Fishing Fleet, where local fi sherman bring in fresh seafood

daily. Approximately one mile south of the Newport Pier is the Balboa, another of

the city’s villages. Balboa includes the Balboa Pier, the Balboa Fun Zone, and the

historic Balboa Pavilion. Catch the Balboa Ferry from here for the short ride over

to Balboa Island.

Lido Marina Village: Lido Marina Village is a charming shopping area with

waterfront dining, stores, the historic Lido Theater, and dynamic views of the

harbor. Just over the bridge sits Lido Isle, a residential neighborhood located on

one of the seven islands of Newport Harbor. The Cannery, a former fi sh canning

operation, still stands nearby.

Mariner’s Mile: This section of Coast Highway is located between the Arches

Interchange (where Coast Highway meets Newport Boulevard) and Dover

Drive. It contains yacht brokerages, marine supply stores, high-end automobile

dealerships, a mix of retail and restaurants, and the beautiful Balboa Bay Club &

Resort.

Balboa Island: The area known as Balboa Island is actually comprised of three

islands – Balboa Island, Little Balboa Island and Collins Island. The main street,

Marine Avenue, is lined with quaint shops, art galleries and restaurants. “The

Island” is known for the great walking path that circles its perimeter, the annual

Balboa Island Parade, its annual Art Walk, and, of course, the legendary Balboa

Bar – vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate and assorted toppings.

Corona Del Mar: Corona Del Mar, or the Crown of the Sea, is home to the

beautiful Corona Del Mar State Beach and the Robert E. Badham Marine

Conservation Area. Lookout and Inspiration Points offer scenic views of the

ocean and the entrance to Newport Harbor. Just a few blocks inland is the

“downtown” area of the village, where shops, boutiques and restaurants border

both sides of Coast Highway and the 2.2-acre Sherman Library and Gardens is

known as a “horticultural retreat.”

Newport Center / Fashion Island: Newport Center contains high- and mid-

rise offi ce and residential buildings, hotels and Fashion Island, one of the most

exclusive shopping and dining destinations in Southern California.

Newport Coast: Newport Coast was annexed into the City of Newport Beach

in 2002. Newer homes, upscale hotels and the Pelican Hill Golf Course line the

hillsides and offer breathtaking views of the Pacifi c Ocean. The historic Crystal

Cove State Park, tucked between Coast Highway and the ocean, includes three

miles of coastline and its historic district contains more than a dozen restored

1930s-era vacation cottages that can be rented year-round.

The Islands of Newport Harbor: Another unique feature of Newport Beach

are the eight islands located in Newport Harbor. Bay Island, Collins Island,

Harbor Island, Lido Isle, Linda Isle, Little Balboa Island, and Newport Island

are strictly residential areas. Balboa Island has residential and some small

commerical areas.

Things to Do

Back Bay Loop Trail: Newport Bay is one of the premier recreational and

environmental assets in our region. The Back Bay Loop Trail provides an exciting

opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to discover a magnifi cent regional trail

experience at the Bay. The 10.5 mile Trail is well-signed as it winds around

Upper Newport Bay, with scenic stops at places like Upper Castaways Park, the

Back Bay Science Center: The Back Bay Science Center - a partnership

between the City of Newport Beach, the County of Orange, the California

Department of Fish and Game, and the University of California, Irvine –

operated out of temporary buildings since opening in the early 1980s. Its new,

permanent facilityopened in 2008 and is comprised of four buildings that total

approximately 12,400 square feet. Located within a state ecological reserve, a

protected area set aside for fi sh and wildlife, the center includes a state-of-the-

art water quality testing laboratory and educational facility. The facility offers

coordinated programs targeting 7th-12th grade students, and offer research

opportunities to college level students. Occasionally, there are opportunities

where the public can get involved as well, such as the monthly Marine Life

Inventories.

In addition to the funding provided by the four partners mentioned above,

generous contributors to the $8 million center include: The Irvine Company,

Miocean Foundation, State Coastal Conservancy, Pacifi c Life and the Newport Bay

Naturalists and Friends.

The mission of the BBSC is to provide a hands-on facility where students and

the public can study and enjoy the estuarine ecology of Newport Bay including

marine ecology of the ocean, and promote natural resource conservation and

stewardship throughout the watershed. More than 10,000 students and visitors

participate in the center’s tours and programs each year.

The Back Bay Science Center is located at 600 Shellmaker Road, Newport Beach.

Shakespeare by the Sea performances each summer.

The City Arts Commission annually awards Cultural Arts Grants to local arts
