Newport Beach Vacation

Things To Do On Your Newport Beach Vacation

Is it that time of the year again? The time when you go on vacation and escape all of the daily stress that work and life brings throughout the year. If you are planning your next Newport Beach vacation you are going to be in for a lot of fun and will have no problems making your escape and getting the relaxation that you need. There are a few different things that you will have fun doing no matter how long you plan to stay.

When you first pull your automobile into the resort where you will be staying the first thing that you and your family are probably going to want to do is run down to the beach. You will probably be spending a lot of your time lying in the sand getting a tan, building a sandcastle, and splashing in the water. Make sure that you pack sunscreen for everyone in your family so that you do not come back looking like a lobster from Joe’s Crab Shack.

Joe’s Crab Shack is one of the best restaurants to get a bite to eat at after a long day on the beach. This relaxed family friendly atmosphere is a great place for your whole family to eat or makes a great place for a date out for just mom and dad.

You will find a different mix of stores located at the Fashion Island Mall. This outdoor mall is filled with stores that you are most likely familiar with as well as some that you may not be familiar with. If you get hungry while you are shopping there are restaurants where you can grab some food before you continue with your adventure.

Newport Beach is a great vacation destination that will never leave you feeling bored. A day at the beach, the tasteful restaurants, and the spectacular shopping will give you plenty to keep up with, and make you never want to go back to your home.

Balboa Fun Zone

Newport Beach in California is one of the nicest vacation spots not only in the United States, but maybe the world. I haven’t traveled around the world, but there can’t be that many things that are better than a Newport Beach vacation.

Last year, I took our family, consisting of my wife, and my three children down there on a week long vacation. The kids loved it and we are considering going back since we loved it so much. The best attraction that we went to and enjoyed the most definitely was the Balboa Fun Zone.

The Balboa Fun Zone is a great attraction if you do have kids. They are open every day of the week. On Sunday through Thursday, they are open from eleven am to four pm. On Friday they are open from eleven am to nine pm, and on Saturday the same hours except till ten pm. One of the great things is that one night we were there, the park was absolutely packed. We were going to go back the other day since we got there late, but they actually kept the park open past six pm on Wednesday night since the park was so crowded.

The Balboa Fun Zone is one of the oldest amusement parks in California. The Balboa Fun Zone is known for its two main attractions: the Ferris wheel and its carousel (or merry go round). The Ferris wheel is one of the most beautiful, serene rides you will ever go on. The ride moves slowly so you can enjoy the view that is obtained from the ride. You can see the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful coast. The Ferris wheel is inexpensive; at only three dollars a ride and you must be over fifty inches to ride it. The merry go round is even cheaper, at only two dollars a ride. Anyone can go on it, although smaller kids like one of my kids need an assistant, and they don’t even charge you for that. There are also tons of arcades, places to eat, and more that make the Balboa Fun Zone a kids haven.

My kids just cannot wait to go back!
