| FEATURES: |
Newport Beach had its origins on the Peninsula where many
of the original beach cottages still remain. From the historic
Pavilion to the world-famous Wedge, the Peninsula Point enjoys
a strong sense of community. This ideal neighborhood features
a mile of pristine oceanfront beach, a life-guarded bayfront
beach, a small craft boat launch, community parks and friendly
neighbors. Community events include the annual Chili Cook-Off
and a summer wine and cheese party. Residents also put on
Easter and Halloween parties for the children. Residents and
visitors alike enjoy bicycling, fishing from the pier and
jetty, swimming and sunbathing. An active Community Association
keeps the residents in touch with City Hall. And for tennis
enthusiasts, the Peninsula Point Racquet Club is a must. |
