The beachfront homes were absolutely stunning, and the restaurants were just fabulous. Although the drinks weren't up to par, I have to mention that parking isn't free, so be cautious about where you park your vehicle to avoid getting a ticket. Apart from that, the locals there were incredibly friendly and polite. All in all, it was a really enjoyable day, and I would definitely love to go back again.
The beach is stunning, well-maintained, and provides a secure environment to enjoy the day and witness the breathtaking sunset. During the summer season, it tends to be quite crowded, so it's advisable to make parking arrangements in advance and remember to bring sunscreen if you wish to avoid getting sunburned.
We had a wonderful time strolling along the expansive beach, which didn't give off a touristy or overcrowded vibe. Additionally, we managed to discover a few seashells during our walk.
In general, I enjoyed this beach. The lifeguard presence was quite extensive and the pier had a pleasant facility. I was taken aback by the quantity of plastic trash scattered on the sand, although it consisted of small items rather than large pieces. This was quite surprising for me, as I am accustomed to Florida beaches. If I lived nearby, I would make it a point to go out every day with a bucket to clean up. However, I was pleased to see that they had large bulldozers to level and smooth out the sand, as well as collect piles of sticks and debris. All in all, it was a fantastic experience.
The beach is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views. I managed to capture a few distinctive photos to share, one from the Newport Beach Pier on Balboa Peninsula, and the second one from the beach adjacent to the Santa Ana River outlet, where I came across these gorgeous flowers growing right on the sand. Although the water is chilly, as expected in California, the warm sand and sun more than compensate for it. Additionally, there is an abundance of affordable public parking available, and some excellent restaurants and shops conveniently located near the pier.
