10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Newport Beach That You Shouldn't Miss

June 26, 2021 Velvet Mowry

Part unspoiled nature, part manmade wonder and part luxury paradise, Newport Beach enchants every type of traveler to its glowing shores. Trendsetters flock to the shopping havens of open air Fashion Island, the seaside shops of Corona Del Mar and the new developments on Newport Coast. The estuary on Back Bay is a birder's paradise, while the protected beach at Crystal Cove is favored by hikers. Surfers catch the best breaks on The Wedge while families enjoy the Fun Zone on Balboa Peninsula.

Since reading Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, I have been more mindful of the flavor enhancing and balancing effect of small amounts of acid. This is a small storefront shop with many different vinegars, mainly balsamic, white and dark, accented with different fruits and spices. You are encouraged to taste freely of those that are interesting. The ability to know what you are buying makes the premium price worth while for a premium product. While I put the opening date on both my oil and vinegar bottles I get 6 times as long a shelf life for vinegar and am willing to stock up when I visit. We shipped ours home and they arrived within a week of purchase, expertly packed.

I have been to The Resort at Pelican Hill before BUT had never been to The Spa. I was looking so forward to it but honestly, I was a tad worried- sometimes these luxurious hotel spas can be pretentious and way too self-important. Turns out, that was NOT the case here....I enjoyed the day and felt most welcome. My daughter gifted me with this lovely Spa Day via Groupon and yes...sometimes those deals can be a disappointment but in this case, it was really great and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I received the Rest&Relax 50 min massage, a glass of Prosecco and unlimited use of the facilities. The place is gorgeous and large, as you would expect from a 5 Star resort. The Staff is very friendly, from check in to end, I was made to feel most welcome and every effort was made for my comfort. I had a Male Massage Therapist who did a wonderful job (I actually prefer Men) and the oils and enhancements he used during the session were fantastic. The treatment rooms are gorgeous. I used the beautiful over-sized jacuzzi and the steam room and I have to say--the temperatures for both were perfect for me. Often they can be too hot to the point you feel that you are cooking so I was happy that both were very comfortable. The lockers are large and the locker areas and restrooms are fully stocked with anything you may need. There are plenty of places to lounge that are comfortable and the waiting area features delicious infused teas and small bites (LOVED the Blondies!). Low light, comfy sofas and chairs and various reading materials make it easy to relax before and after your service. I am an Orange County resident and I have been to several Day Spas in the area that are nice BUT now that I know The Spa at Pelican Hill is such a lovely place to spend the day- I will be looking forward to coming back as often as possible.
