Cute coffee / shops / restaurants by the water
OC's best outdoor mall (R&D patio is a good spot for a shopping break)
Perfect for a morning walk or afternoon stroll.. and home of the famous Balboa Bar!
Cute & yummy breakfast on the beach (they also have lunch/dinner). Ideal for a walk before or after. Get the beignets!
IYKYK - Maddy hates fish.. but for those who enjoy, this is the best place for locally caught seafood
Fun for lunch or dinner; close to both Lido Village & Newport Peninsula
Great bar and dinner right on the water
A local favorite. Order the Crisp Martini and grab a spot on the back patio
Best chips/guac/marg if you're looking to get your California mexican food fix!
Pub & brewery in the heart of Newport Peninsula (if you find yourself looking for another bar, Billy's also has a killer Mai Tai...)
