Welcome home to Newport Shores. Newport Shores is a beach style community located at the west end of Newport Beach. It is located across the street from Coast Highway and Orange Street in Newport Beach.

Newport Shores is walking distance to a very desirable beach in Newport Beach, and a very sought after surfing spot as well – the River Jetty. Located on Coast Highway just outside of the Newport Shores community is the Frog House which sells surf boards, wetsuits, gear, DVD’s, leashes and apparell. Many locals visit the Frog House. The Frog House has been in existence since 1962 and is owned by TK Brimer.

When you reside in Newport Shores, it is definitely the beach life style. You can easily ride your bike to the Newport Pier or the Huntington Beach Pier. Below are photos of the Newport Beach pier.

There are community activities throughout the year in Newport Shores including a Fourth of July parade, Memorial Day barbecue, swim team during the summer months, tennis tournaments, and of course the Newport Shores Holiday Home Tour. The pool is heated during the summer months, and there is also a Newport Shores Swim Team. The heated pool in Newport Shores also does have a lifeguard on duty during the summer months.

Newport Shores is surrounded by the Canal which is fed the tide. The water level rises along with the tide. Occasionally, there is some unusual wildlife, and there was recently a ray swimming in the Canal as well. Other wildlife includes possums, raccoons, coyotes, and a swan which comes about once a year. There were previously geese that lived in the canal, and I have recently seen Canadian Geese as well.

Newport Shores is a very friendly community and the children who reside in this community attend one of the only schools on the beach in the country – Newport Elementary School. Known as the “best on the beach”, their playground is literally – the beach. Many of the children ride their bikes to school, and it is a beautiful way to begin your day riding along the boardwalk and taking in the beautiful ocean.
