Lido Isle - Genoa West Beach

Located directly in the middle of Newport Bay, Lido Isle is a private island housing community with a beautiful bay and private beach. The beach spans the long waterfront with direct views of the stylish Lido Isle houses.

A couple of the amenities offered are a small dock on the bay and a playground that is popular among young children.

The warm water is great for swimming and people often enjoy jumping off the small dock to splash into the bay. The water in the bay can get deep very quickly so caution is advised when swimming. The long stretch of soft white sand is a great place to lounge and watch the boats sail by the harbor. There are also plenty of benches along the beach to relax and enjoy the peaceful scenery of the Lido Isle Bay.

You’ll find easily accessible street parking at Lido Isle near the intersections of Via Lido Nord and Via Genoa streets.
