Newport Bay
Newport Bay puts you right in the middle of one of the most action-packed stretches of the Southern California coast, where you'll drop anchor and take in views of a harbor hosting over 9,000 boats. The lower bay opens up to the Pacific while Balboa Island and the iconic Newport Beach waterfront sit close by. It's a lively scene, with watersports, waterfront dining, and the buzz of one of the country's most storied sailing communities surrounding you on all sides.
