This place is beautiful! Not sure if we managed to visit on a slow day but it was nice and quiet but the scenery was great. I loved how many locals were there fishing and how many great places there were for people watching. The beach was clean and also not particularly busy that day. I definitely wish we had more time here, as we didn't get to explore or try many of the restaurants and shops on the area. Will definitely make it a priority to visit again.

This was our second trip to Newport pier. The best thing I like about this Newport beach pier is that they have this morning farmers market where you can buy beach clothing,souvenirs and more, I love the hummus and the fresh bread I got some passionfruit, and some fresh veggies took them all the way back to Vegas. Happy to be there. Honestly we are looking for night markets in LA but we didn’t get parking as you all know finding a parking spot in LA is a nightmare. So we are so grateful that we came at the right time to Newport Beach pier, not to forget we bought some fresh fish from that Dory fish market was so fresh, this market was right there at the entrance to the pier you can’t miss it, and as you walk into the pier. As you walk into the pier you’ll see tons of people fishing, relaxing with some music it’s so good to see in the morning and it was a good vibe all around

A pretty typical Pacific Ocean pier with gift shops, restaurants and bars nearby. You will see a mix of tourists, locals, homeless and people fishing. Good views up and down the coast.

Well kept area around the lifeguard building, statues, and pier. There are public restrooms there too which is nice to have when visiting the beach. Easy beach access and affordable parking options are a short walk away. Several cafes, shops, and restaurants right there too.

How can you not stop here and take in the scenery, sand, sun, smells and warmth. Great area, with great shops and atmosphere that makes me want to come back. I know everyone ends up posting the same photos. How can you not... Love this place. - The pier, the shops, the surf, the sound of the ocean. On the flip side... the public bathrooms are at best in need of a good cleaning (I get it, just a few bathrooms used (and abused) by many). Parking... for the most part, plan on either driving around until you find a spot or paying for it. - The beach was pretty clean.
