What travellers are saying
- Trish KLos Angeles, CA240 contributionsSaw on the news the Balboa Island ferry May close down. We had to go take one last trip if it indeed did close. It’s a quick 3-minute trip. The ferry can hold 3 cars. We drove up and on to the ferry and we shoved off. $2.50 for the vehicle + driver and $1.50 for a passenger. Brought back fond memories of a summer trip to Newport Beach.Written 19 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pldj m182 contributionsIt's not too big garden, but you can enjoy walk around inside for two hours. Maintenance is good, so clean so beautiful. Organize so well in each space, no waste.

- Nick CCincinnati, OH377 contributionsNice place to stop. Ion street parking for the most part. Quick walk to the sand for great ocean views but even better views of the houses and cliffs of surrounding Newport Beach and Corona Del Mar. there were life guard stations and plenty of space for fun. The day we were there the waves were calm but we were told some days there are tremendous waves.Written 9 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Running RickDestin, FL199 contributionsI had just finished a job in the early afternoon, and my company booked a redeye flight out of John Wayne International Airport. I found Inspiration Point on Google maps and said why not? It was worth it, I spent a few hours there watching the Pacific wash against the beach and the rocks. Very nice. Obviously a popular spot, but that doesn't take away form the beauty, from the views. It truly is a magical place.Written 27 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- sainbashaIrvine, CA2,770 contributionsThis is a nice and quite pier on Newport Beach. There is ample parking available as well as small and cute hotels for staying. Ample green space also to walk around. The pier is next to a quite town which has nice little shops. On the pier itself you will some fisherman trying to catch some fish. If you are lucky you may see some dolphins swimming in the sea also. Good to spend a couple of hours with the family.Written 15 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- paws0810Mesa, AZ2,476 contributionsWe have not been to Newport Beach in many years. It was fun, chili, crisp clear blue sky’s. We walked out on the beach and the pier. Enjoyed our afternoon in the sunshineWritten 7 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WandererPSBloomington-Normal, IL147 contributionsThis was such an interesting place to hike. There's a lot going on, between the sounds, smells, and wildlife. I saw many variey of beautiful birds.
I did not give 5 stars due to all the litter in the marshs that was just sad. I'm guessing this washes in with the tide but it's so depressing I wished I could get down there to clean some up.Written 12 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Free street parking, steep ramp to walk down to the beach (going back up the ramp is much slower going!)
My granddaughter was thrilled to see if there were any sea creatures in the rocks: she only found sea anemones.Written 15 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Church services happen at 9 and 11am on Sundays in the chapel located next to the temple. Would highly recommend as a refreshing place to visit in Newport Beach.Written 10 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Plenty of parking with a small back door entrance. Inside was a warehouse setting with a standing tasting area. Tasting was $20 per person. Staff was great and served many people efficiently. We liked Robert alot and he was helpful to find our tastes for a bottle purchase.Written 5 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
