Flexcation: A New Way to Vacation in Newport Beach
Your Travel Guide @ Beachview Vacations

Work and Study Remotely in Newport Beach
When you can work from anywhere,
why not work from the beach?
For many of us now, our jobs and our kids’ classrooms are located anywhere with a stable internet connection. Kitchen counters are now work spaces, school uniforms are now sweatpants, and our families are now our coworkers and classmates. This is the new normal, and we’ve done a pretty darn good job at adapting.
However, this new work-from-home culture has done us a disservice with its branding. Why work from home and we are now free to work from virtually anywhere? Do yourself a favor and change up your workspace with a Staycation at one of the most beautiful beach towns on the California Coast – Newport Beach. Relocating your quarantine bubble is easier than you might think, especially in a town like this one, and your sanity will thank you.
