West Newport Park Beach

Located at the western end of Newport Beach Municipal Beach, West Newport Park Beach is a wide sandy beach known for its nearby sports facilities and park. The beach is usually uncrowded and a great place to enjoy some friendly competition with friends or family. 

The calm waves at the beach make it a great location for surfing of all levels. Surfers especially enjoy the area nicknamed the “River Jetties,” which is located near the mouth of the Santa Ana River at the south end of the beach. People also enjoy coming to the beach park to make use of the many sports facilities including tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball nets, and handball courts. There is also a sandy playground at the beach park, especially enjoyed by young children. Adjacent to the playground is a small grassy area that can be used to picnic or lounge while taking in the Southern California sun.

The entrance to the beach can be found next to Seashore Lot 4 at the intersection of 58th Street and Seashore Drive just one block off of PCH. You’ll be able to find plenty of street parking along Seashore Drive and also at Seashore Lot 4.
