The Best Beaches in Newport

The Best Beaches in Newport

By Natalie Boyle, REALTOR®, Founder of Verso Homes (DRE #01329012)

 

Newport Beach is the perfect place to live since the weather in Southern California is sunny almost all year! The ten miles of coastline in Newport Beach is the best place to enjoy the sun and water. Lots of people love skating and riding their bikes along the boardwalk that has a stunning view of the ocean.

A popular spot in Newport Beach is further south at The Wedge since it’s known for its massive waves. Even though my kids are too young to go in, they think it’s so much fun to watch how big some of the swells can get. On the jetty, we also like to watch the boats sail from the harbor into the sea.

When my family isn’t at the beach, we love to take the ferry across from Balboa Island to the Fun Zone on the peninsula. This area is right on the harbor and has some shopping, an arcade, and bungee jumping. There is even a small Ferris wheel that has been running for around 80 years! If you haven’t been on the Ferris wheel, it has a beautiful bird’s eye view of the harbor and all of the boats.

During summer, my ideal evening is spent in front of a bonfire at Newport Beach! Once a month, my friends, family, and I all get together and watch the sunset at the fire pits by the Balboa Pier. Nothing beats eating s’mores and roasting a few hot dogs with the kids!

If you are thinking of moving close to the coast, Newport Beach could be the place for you. I’d love to talk about how I can help you over a cup of coffee!
