Find some family fun in the sun this summer
Newport Beach
If your family is more trendy than traditional, look no further than Newport Beach in Southern California. Frequented by sunbathers, surfers, and yes, families, miles upon miles of sand-castle-ready beach is open to the public. Head to the “Wedge” at Balboa Peninsula to be wowed by serious surfers taking on 25-foot waves, or for calmer waters, take the kids to Corona del Mar State Beach. Once you tire of the sand, push the stroller along the buzzing boardwalk or take older kids for a ride on a bicycle built for four. When it’s time for a change of scenery, Catalina Island is just a short 75-minute ferry ride away.
