Sometimes I like to share great places to go and to awesome things to do with you guys. So today I’m sharing 5 Can’t Miss Vacation Activities in Newport Beach.

Newport Beach – Enriching in Every Sense

When you plan a getaway, don’t you want to make it a place where all of your senses are invited to come along? Where eyes can take in towering seaside cliffs overlooking pristine beaches. Ears can perk up to the sounds of a classic Southern California boardwalk. The nose is tempted by sweets from an old-time candy store.

And taste buds satisfied with fresh seafood at an oceanfront eatery. In Newport Beach, even your sense of touch can be indulged, with a rejuvenating spa treatment at a luxury resort. This is enrichment at a deeper level. In a place where casual meets refined. Natural meets handcrafted. And each of your five senses meets lots of great reasons to come out and play. There’s a sense of something different. In Newport Beach. Enriching in every sense.

1. Go Parasailing!

This was so much fun! We went for Dan’s birthday last year. The weather was beautiful. The ride on the ocean was awesome! And the “flight” up and back down was not only unforgettable, but it was so peaceful and relaxing and quiet! I would do this again in a heart-beat! This is one of those bucket-list items that I’m lucky enough to have done!
