Inspiration Point

Reviewed By Staidthere - Jakarta, Indonesia

We were delighted to see that this small promontory was reserved for the public, and we felt it was tastefully designed with a curving "vanishing" walkway leading down to the viewing area where there are teakwood benches facing the sea. The viewing area is romantic, so weddings are held there. The shape of the viewing area suggests the bow of a small boat facing the activity on the beach and channel to the Newport Beach harbor, but we felt that the view to the south was the most captivating because of the shapes of the cliff and rugged rocks in and near the water, especially just before sunset.

Marina Park

Reviewed By 105marionc

This Park has only been open for a few years. It has a restaurant, playground for children, sailing lessons and a lifeguard in the summertime. I love to swim there in the Bay by the lifeguard station. Paid parking is available as well as handicapped parking. There are restrooms and places to rinse off.

Newport Beach California Temple

Reviewed By deela13 - Mesa, United States

While in Newport Beach we went to the Newport Temple one morning while on vacation. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we were able to go inside the temple. But we have come before and just walked the grounds and taken pictures. Beautiful area and view. Sunday meeting house right next to the temple for anyone (you don't have to be a member) that needs a place to go on Sunday morning. I believe the Sacrament meeting started at 9:00 am. Friendly people and peaceful surroundings!
