The Safe-cation 411 – Newport Beach, a premier vacation destination in Southern California, is a social distancer’s dream. 

It boasts miles of coastline and acres of wide open parks, pathways, and beaches. And while plenty of people have successfully found a breath of fresh air with a Newport Beach getaway, the city has rolled out a robust campaign to ensure the continued safety of its guests.

Newport Beach’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

In 2020, a coalition of local businesses launched the Safe Health Initiative Pledge (S.H.I.P. Shape). It outlines the safe and proactive practices local businesses are committed to implementing during this public safety crisis. The precautions are simple and straight-forward, yet effective. Those who take the pledge guarantee to:

1.  Adhere to guidelines issued by the County and State.
2. Frequently clean and sanitize high-touch areas.
3. Require face coverings and encourage frequent hand washing.
4. Maintain capacities in accordance with City, County and State guidance.
5. Monitor the health of employees.

For complete transparency, businesses who have taken this pledge will display the S.H.I.P. logo as shown below, so you can make informed decisions when choosing which businesses to interact with.
