Newport Beach, California Travel Guide


newport beach fun zone

Newport Beach, California, Orange County's famous beach destination, is known for its trend-setting ways, boats, yachts and bays, dining cruises, trips to Catalina Island and wonderful hotel options. With miles of sand to sink your feet into, Newport Beach is the viewers' choice for easy beach vacations. Not only is it the closest beach to Disneyland and California Adventure theme parks, it is the only beach with an outdoor shopping mall (Fashion Island) overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Vacations to Newport Beach offer strolls on the sand, bicycling, dining, performing arts and many activities for kids and adults.

Getting to Newport Beach: When visiting by air, you can book a flight to Santa Ana, CA (SNA), less than one mile from Newport Beach. Another option with flights that are more plentiful and sometimes cheaper is Los Angeles (LAX). It is approximately 40 miles and takes about 50 minutes to get to Newport Beach. Super Shuttle is a popular choice for catching a ride to your destination, or you can rent a car at the airport. If you fly into Santa Ana, several hotels in Newport Beach may provide shuttle service to their property.

What to Bring: Do carry a lightweight jacket and sweater with you. Even in the summer, the days on the Pacific are warm, but nights can be cool. Locals dress in layers that can be removed as the day warms up, then added at nightfall. These travel tips will help you enjoy your holiday or business trip.
