Beachgoers have flocked to Newport Beach since the Pacific Electric Railway started bringing them in 1905. Newport Beach is renowned for good surfing, especially between Newport Pier and the Santa Ana River. At the tip of the Balboa Peninsula, The Wedge offers world-class bodyboarding and bodysurfing. Newport Harbor is the largest recreational boat harbor on the U.S. west coast, and a popular destination for all boating activities, including sailing, fishing, rowing, kayaking,and paddleboarding. Upper Newport Bay, or the Back Bay, is ringed by Back Bay Drive and a network of trails and paths that attract bicyclists, rollerbladers, joggers, and walkers.

Fashion Island at Newport Center is a popular regional shopping and entertainment destination. The bars and restaurants within a few blocks of Newport Pier are a regional nightlife destination. Dining in Newport Beach, like many oceanfront towns, tends to focus on seafood restaurants but there are a variety of restaurants that range in price and type of food. The village areas of Corona del Mar and Balboa Island are ideal for walking to explore the shops and restaurants.
