A visit to Newport Beach isn’t complete without at least sticking your toes in the water! Even on the most overcast day, there will always be people surfing the waves or riding their body boards. If you’re lucky, you may even see dolphins, whales, or seals while you are out! Renting a duffy boat if you prefer to let the boat do the work is another fantastic way to enjoy the delights of the water in Newport Beach! A drier way to experience the Pacific Ocean is with a sunset cruise through the harbor, a gondola ride, or an adventure out to Catalina Island.

If you’re not ready for the waves but still want to get on the bay you could always rent a kayak or SUP for an hour or two. It’s great fun and good exercise as well. There are several places on the peninsula where you can rent all the gear you need for your water adventure.
