Known for its picturesque views of the Pacific and one of the world's largest small yacht harbors, Newport Beach is a chic seaside community located on Southern California's Orange County coastline between Los Angeles and San Diego. The city is acclaimed for its beaches, mild year-round weather, boating/yachting community, sophisticated atmosphere, international film festival, three annual epicurean festivals and the oldest holiday boat parade in the nation. Newport Beach is a seaside oasis where visitors can spend their days basking in the sun on a beautiful beach (part of the city's nine miles of coastline), sailing aboard a mega-luxury yacht or paddling a kayak in one of the world's largest small yacht harbors (9,000+ yachts); shopping at fashionable stores or dining at hip waterfront eateries or watering holes - in other words - simply enjoying life. Situated in what is often described as the American "Riviera," Newport Beach combines an aura of chic sophistication with the laidback vibe of California's coastal culture. Newport Beach is the gateway to Southern California's world-renowned array of adventures and attractions for travelers the world over. With nearly 365 days of sunshine and an annual average temperature of 75 degrees it's not surprising that Newport was voted one of the "Top ten resort towns" in the U.S.A. by AOL Travel in 2008. Newport lives up to it reputation as an opulent jewel on the California coast.

The Newport Beach / Costa Mesa Daily Pilot continues to be a great supporter of the Taste of Newport and the Chamber of Commerce. We appreciate their helping to promote this great community event.
