We had a great day at Newport Beach, CA. (Saturday, Aug 1, 2009) The weather was perfect. A little cloudy that morning but cleared out and sunny by 11ish. The water was cold until you got in and then it felt perfect. My little boy and I were trying to learn how to 'boogie board' and the waves were just... more

I have to say it is one of the most cleanest beaches I have ever seen, and the Pacific Ocean is alot warmer and less salty. We stayed after the sunset and drove the strip. Very nice. more
