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!

It’s no secret that finding a honeymoon location or a place to take your sweetheart is important. With many places to choose from, you may be surprised to hear that a Newport Beach vacation is actually one of the most romantic – yet also one of the most overlooked areas in the entire United States.

For honeymooners or those in love looking to re-kindle the flame, Newport Beach has a lot to offer when it comes to romance. The entire environment and setting around the Beach is romantic, with romance budding at each and every turn.

On a hot day, walking hand in hand down Marine Avenue on Balboa Island is enriching. You and your mate can check out the sites and talk about things. Then, you can head over to Balboa Fun Zone and play games together,
enjoying the best life has to offer. To show her that you care, you can even win her a stuffed animal – one thing that all females seem to love!

On the harbor of Newport Beach, a romantic gondola ride remains one of the most romantic things to do. A gondola ride is great to relax, sitting back with one and another and enjoying the best of the beach. Sometimes,  nothing beats just enjoying the presence of one another and taking in some of the best sites that vision has to offer.

Once night begins to set in, nothing is more romantic than a trip to the Bayside Restaurant or the Aubergine, two of the most romantic restaurants in Orange County. Both you and your partner will enjoy the setting here, as
well as the food.

After you have enjoyed a romantic dinner, you can watch the sunset on the beach. Both sunrise and sunset is breathtaking at Newport Beach, something each and every couple should experience at least once in a lifetime.

Before you call it a trip, you should also make sure to get pampered at a local spa. The spa’s around Newport Beach are exhilarating, something your whole body will find superb. As a couple or a separate trip, a relaxing
day at the spa is very hard to rival.

When it comes to a honeymoon or a trip as a couple, Newport Beach is one location you’ll remember the rest of your lives. There is so much to do here as a couple, you’ll probably want to come back again and again. As
time goes by and you get older, you’ll find that Newport Beach is the perfect place to come back to – no matter where the road of life takes you.
