Embrace the Coastal Lifestyle

Newport locals love the abundance of natural beauty found in their coastal oasis. For the best views (and sense of the destination), charter a yacht for a harbor cruise, or strike out for a whale watching tour and windswept view of the coast. Get your pulse raising with a coastal hike that ends in a quaint historic beach cottage enclave, or take a spin on an electric bike through the stunning back bay via its 10-mile paved loop. “Above all”, be sure to take a private helicopter tour of Newport Beach. From Newport’s vibrant blue coastline and harbor to historic and A-lister homes, it’s an experience sure to lift anyone’s spirits.
