The Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve is an immaculate estuary that also doubles up as one of the best bird-watching spots in North America. Home to more than 30,000 migratory birds during the winter, these coastal wetlands are also inhabited by some sensitive species such as the California Gnatcatcher and the Burrowing Owl. The preserve is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, and you can enjoy activities like hiking, biking, horseback riding, or bird watching. Within its premises, the nature preserve houses the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center where you can gain some more information about the estuary through interesting exhibits and displays.
Newport Beach is a city nestled within the popular and bustling Orange County. Like the other Californian cities, this one too is blessed with beautiful beaches that are ideal for surfing and other water sports. It is known as a posh enclave in O.C., lined with yachts. Apart from adventures on the sand, visitors can also indulge in nature walks, bicycling, golfing and similar activities around the water. As the evening starts to set in, the city transforms into a clubbing zone and all the beach clubs and bars start getting crowded.
