Some of the best views in the harbor can be found in this stunning venue perched on 10.5 acres of park space along the Balboa Peninsula. Some refer to Marina Park as the “Window to the Bay”, as its footprint encompasses a 1,200-foot opening to Newport Bay, bordered with palm trees and a whimsical miniature lighthouse. A more stately lighthouse-inspired structure (and local landmark), the Lighthouse Bayview Café, is nestled alongside the venue and is the park’s onsite restaurant (and one of many preferred caterers for onsite events).

Invite your group to travel via electric boat to arrive at this venue in true Newport Beach style. Sunset cocktail hour enjoyed off of the event room’s second-story balcony space is an unforgettable way to end your day, and the variety of flexible spaces inspires everything from classroom-style sessions to team offsite gatherings.
