Attractions-To-Newport-Beach

Even though Newport Beach has many attractions, one

of the most popular is the beaches. There are

beaches on the peninsula and in Corona del Mar. On

the peninsula, there is the infamous spot "The Wedge",

which is great for body surfing.

From the Balboa Peninsula to Avalon, there is the

Catalina Flyer. This 500 passenger giant provides

the daily transportation. For residents, the Flyer

is the preferred means of transportation.

The Balboa Fun Zone is a great attraction as well,

offering a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, bumper cars,

and several shops and restaurants. Located on the

Balboa Peninsula, the Fun Zone is great for kids.

The island of Balboa is actually an artificial

island found in Newport Harbor. The island was dredged

and filled shortly before World War 1. Between the

island and the peninsula, the Balboa Island Ferry

works to transport pedestrians and their belongings.

Newport Beach also offers a wildlife sanctuary, known

as the Back Bay. Nearby, Fashion Island helps to

provide shopping experiences for those who like to

shop and splurge.

For many reasons, Newport Beach is very worthy of a

visit or a vacation. Even though it's one of the

undiscovered treasures of California, there is plenty

to be found here. If you've been looking for an area

with lots of attractions, look for further than Newport
