With average highs between 65 and 75 degrees year-round, outdoor lovers will be right at home in Newport Coast. Our guests can sign up for a game of golf at Pelican Hills and play amidst the impressive Pacific vistas. Then visit the Newport Aquatic Center and spend a day in a kayak or canoe. If you like to surf, this is one of the must-see towns to do so.
Sunbathing at Laguna Beach is always a popular pastime, and the beach is convenient to downtown Newport Coast accommodations and restaurants. You can hike along the coast at Newport’s Upper Newport Bay Preserve and Ecological Reserve, over 1,000 acres of protected coastal wetland. The nearby Los Trancos and El Moro Canyons, at Crystal Cove State Park, are yet another sight to see.
For some indoor fun, jump on a ferry boat and explore more than 70 shops, galleries and restaurants on Balboa Island. Or head inland to Costa Mesa and the famous South Coast Plaza mall. Aside from upscale shopping, you don’t want to miss the Martin Lawrence Galleries, where you can see art by Picasso, Chagall, Warhol, and other famous artists.
