With its scenic beaches and yacht harbor, limitless opportunities for recreation and entertainment, and world class shopping and dining, Newport Beach draws visitors from around the globe during all seasons, but especially in summer. A season which, in Newport Beach, seems endless, thanks to near-perfect weather year round.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to celebrate an endless summer in Newport Beach.

The Newport Beach lifestyle centers on our access to the water, whether it’s walking or surfing our miles of white sand beaches or cruising Newport Harbor. Thanks to our idyllic weather, you can enjoy a day or evening on the water year-round here.
Duffy Boats
There’s nothing quite like cruising in an electric Duffy boat around Newport Harbor, and especially at sunset. These easy-to-navigate boats are a unique way to see and enjoy views of Newport Beach from the water and they are truly one of Newport’s oldest and beloved traditions.

Stand-up Paddling (SUP) is a fun way to explore Newport Beach’s scenic waterways, from the Back Bay to the Harbor to the canals and the outskirts of our residential islands.
