NEWPORT BEACH Nature Collective

Nature is Hosting. Be a Kind Guest.

Welcome to the Newport Beach Nature Collective
A project by Visit Newport Beach

Newport Beach is more than a destination—it’s a living, breathing coastal ecosystem, shaped by land, sea, and time. From seaside trails to tidepools and teeming estuaries to the open ocean, these preserved spaces tell the story of a place to protect. The Newport Beach Nature Collective exists to inspire mindful visitation, spark curiosity, and deepen the connection between people and place. We believe travel and conservation are partners and every visitor has a role to play.

Through storytelling, education, and community-driven efforts, we invite you to experience Newport Beach not just as a guest—but as a steward. So whether you’re enjoying the beach, hiking a trail, watching an egret take flight, or simply breathing in the sea air—remember: Nature is Hosting. Be a Kind Guest.

WHERE to explore nature

Newport Beach is more than just a coastal escape—it’s a thriving natural sanctuary. From rugged bluffs to tranquil wetlands, the city’s diverse ecosystems invite exploration at every turn. Paddle through calm waters, hike scenic trails with sweeping ocean views, or witness wildlife in their protected habitats.
