Other Attractions in Newport Beach

Crystal Cove State Park: The Crystal Cove State Park, located in Newport Beach, provides you with 3.5 miles of beach and over 2,000 acres of undeveloped woodland, which is perfect for horseback riding and hiking. Offshore, the waters are designed to be an underwater park.

 

Popular for mountain bikers inland, and scuba diving underwater, Crystal Cove beach is a great attraction for swimmers and surfers. There are also sandy coves and nifty tidepools to explore. Offering you sand, rocky reefs, ridges, canyons, and a lot to do with your time, Crystal Cove ensures that you never find yourself looking for something to do.

 

The park also features a couple miles of Pacific coastline, wooded canyons, open bluffs, and plenty of water. Giving Newport Beach more room for opportunity, the park continues to be great for swimming, surfing, or enjoying the sun.

 

During the winter months, Crystal Cove State Park Rangers offer nature hikes. This makes winter fun, for anyone who visits the park. Offering you plenty to do and see year-round, Crystal Cove State Park adds more reason to visit or return to Newport Beach.

 

McFadden's Wharf: Completed in 1889, the wharf began the decade for Newport as a shipping port. Built by James and Robert McFadden, the wharf was a great way to ship lumber from Northern California to those who settled here.

 

Old Landing: The Old Landing is located at Highway 101 & Dover Drive. Established in 1870, the Old Landing was designated to be a new port by the McFaddens, who went on to establish a shipping service in the area of Newport. Now, there's a bridge and highway on an area of the site. 

 

Disney Land: If you're looking for action and adventure in the Newport Beach area, the Disneyland Resort is everything you need. Bigger and more magical than ever, the world-famous Disneyland is just a short ride from the Little Inn by the bay by. With the addition of the California Adventure Island, the Disneyland Resort is better than ever.

 

Aquatic Centre: The Aquatic Centre of Newport Beach is an ideal place for anyone who loves the water or loves to work out and stay in shape. The over 18,000 square foot facility offers a multi-purpose meeting room, both weight and cardiovascular training facilities, locker rooms for both men and women, and a storage area for well over 400 canoes and kayaks.

 

Food and Wine Festival: Lasting a weekend long, the festival is held annually at the Balboa Bay Club. Normally held the first week of May, this is the perfect time to visit Newport Beach. On a typical night, you can find mounds of shrimp, a variety of oysters, fish, pasta, and many other types of seafood and exotic treats. Along with the wine, this festival is a great attraction to Newport Beach.

 

Christmas Boat Parade: The parade features dazzling holiday lights that light up the bay, amazing the nearly one million visitors that crowd Newport Beach and Newport Harbour. From December 18-22, there are more than 200 vessels participating in this holiday celebration. Several of these vessels will be decorated for the season, playing music and displaying Christmas decorations and costumed carollers. Some yacht owners spend as much as 50,000 dollars in decorations for their yacht.

 

Over the course of 14 miles, the yachts and watercraft will amaze the spectators. For more than 90 years, the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade has dazzled spectators and locals. All along the beach, the parade provides views for restaurants, locals, private home owners, and even those on public beaches.

 

Along with the private boats, many charter companies offer the chance for parade goers to participate in the parade and view the "Ring of Lights", a group of spectacular homes all around the harbour. The "Ring of Lights" is a popular addition to the parade, with prizes given for those who have the best decorations on their homes.
