We have vacationed in Newport for the past two years with some friends from Dental School and we love it. Here is how we like to have fun in Newport:
Newport Beach Villas: Stay at the Newport Beach Villas by Marriott. (This is only possible for us right now because a friend gets a big discount.) This is the view from the main building. AMAZING...that's the ocean out there :)
Swim in the awesome pools. The weather was't too great while we were there so we had the pool all to ourselves one morning.
Newport Beach: Go to Newport Beach..of all the beaches around the area we like Newport the best. Here is a few reasons why....
- You can spot cute little babes!
- You can play in perfect, soft sand.
- You can rent bikes and you can ride along the boardwalk and see all the beach houses.
Ruby's: With our bikes we also rode to Ruby's which is a little diner out on the pier. We saw whales while we were out on the pier. It was so cool.
Jane's Corndogs: Right on the boardwalk across from the beach. So so good!
Seaside Donuts: Also right on the boardwalk and a must when you go to Newport Beach.
Balboa Island: We took a ferry to Balboa Island. While there get a Balboa Bar. YUMMY :)
Rose Bakery: In Corona Del Mar and seriously so good. The raspberry lemonade, donuts, and breakfast burrito. So good. We went twice :)
Tesla Store: This is at Fashion Island. Travis was in heaven. You can sit in the cars and learn all about them. Travis was like a kid in a candy store.
Casey's Cupcakes: If you are a fan of the show Cupcake Wars then you should go here. They won Cupcakes Wars and the Red Velvet cupcake was really good.
Lemonade: We weren't to sure about this restaurant in Fashion Island but we decided to give it a try. Totally worth it. So YUMMY. We can't wait to go back next time.
I am realizing now that most of these things are food or revolve around food but thats what makes a trip great anyways right?!? If you ever get the chance to vacation in Newport, go do these things. You will not be disappointed. We had so much fun!!!
