subject: The Real Newport Beach [print this page] When people think of Newport Beach, California they automatically think of one thing: opulence. They think of fast cars, big houses, beautiful people, Newport Beach jewelers, big malls and big bank accounts. Its not that people have the wrong idea about Newport Beach: it is home to many wealthy people, big houses, good looks, and many fine jewelry establishments. Its just that that is not all Newport Beach has to offer. Newport Beach is also one of the most beautiful places on the west coast of the United States. If you focus only on the people who live there its like going to Yellowstone and only looking at the Old Faithful geyser: youre missing the rest of it.
For all intents and purposes, the most beautiful part of Newport Beach is the coastline. What makes it so spectacular is how varied it is. From inlets that house marshes, estuaries and wetlands, to high cliffs and rocky shores which feature some of the best tide-pools in the areas, Newport Beach has something for everyone. For those who want to lie out on the beach Newport Beach has that. If you want to go boating in a safe harbor or on the open ocean, Newport has that. If your goal is to spot wildlife on shore and out at sea, you can check out the small crustaceans and fish of the tide pools, marvel at the beautiful birds that dot the estuaries, and even spots dolphins and migrating whales from the cliffs. Plus, there are plenty of public and private beaches to test the water out at. This is not to say that the inland doesnt have charm. Most of Newport Beach is built on hilly terrain, which means that hiking is available in many non-developed locations (there are a surprising amount of them left in the area). Newport Beach follows the blueprint of many other Orange County cities by providing a variety of large, medium and small parks for its residents and visitors. These parks are available in many neighborhoods and ad some green to almost any part of town youre in. In fact, Newport Beach has a lot of wide open, non-developed areas, which is part of its charm. Unlike many surrounding cities, you do not feel overwhelmed by your surroundings.
As for the shopping and such, its all not just about large shopping malls and mainstream stores. There are many locations around town where you can find quaint little shops that sell jewelry, knickknacks and art. These are the places youll definitely want to visit when you come to the Newport Beach area.
