Newport Beach trip planner

City beaches line the coast from the Balboa Peninsula to the Santa Ana River in Newport Beach. Some of the best surfing in the world is found between Newport Pier and the river. The appeal of the area comes from a wave called "The Wedge" at the tip of Balboa Peninsula, which gives surfers and body-boarders a true challenge. Both Newport and Balboa piers attract fishermen and tourists for their views of the sea scattered with sails. The downtown architecture embraces short, stucco structures popular in California, allowing for full views of the water.
