Looking for things to do in Newport Beach? Aside from visiting the beach, explore the bay as well. Visit the Balboa Fun Zone located between Washington and Palm Street off East Balboa Boulevard, there are lots of activities! Take a ride on the Ferris Wheel and enjoy an amazing view of Newport Harbor, the kids will definitely love that ride!
There is shopping, dining and places to get candy and ice cream. The Balboa Fun Zone has other attractions as well. For the whole family, rent a boat, there is more than one location there to rent a boat and cruise the harbor. It is an amazing way to see the incredible islands in Newport Harbor and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Take your pick between a power boat or a Duffy boat which is an electric boat and meant for cruising the harbor. If it is a busy weekend, I recommend making reservations in advance, as they do fill up. Especially during the 4th of July weekend, and the boat parade in December.
Other attractions include some new rides for the children to enjoy! There is the “Happy Swing” which is a fun ride for the children to enjoy!
For the adults looking for an ocean adventure with amazing views of Newport Beach and the harbor, consider para-sailing.
There is an arcade also to visit, and the Catalina Flyer is also located on this area. Take a trip to Catalina Island in Avalon, just a brief trip across for a fun filled day or even a weekend.
There are several different boat rentals companies in this area to explore Newport Harbor.
Living in Newport Beach is truly a lifestyle for residents. Enjoy bay front dining at many wonderful restaurants located in Newport Beach and near the Balboa Fun Zon including the Pavilion in Newport Beach.
