Newport Beach Pier is the heart of the classic California coast and a must-visit destination for those looking to soak up authentic beach town vibes. Unlike some of the busier piers, this one keeps its old-school charm, filled with local fishermen, sunset strollers, and surfers catching waves right by the wooden pilings. From the end of the pier, you get a breathtaking, unobstructed view of the vast Pacific Ocean and the stunning coastline lined with iconic beach houses. It is the perfect spot to catch a sunset as the sun literally sinks into the water, turning the sky into a masterpiece of colors.

We've been coming to Newport Pier and the beach for as long as I can remember. A lot has changed since the 1970s, but the sunsets remain as beautiful as ever. I've been fishing on the pier, of course, catching more fish back in the day. We love the beach and the shops around the pier promenade. We’ll be visiting again soon.
