Best Gifts for Dads Who Love the Outdoors
Electric Bike from Pedego
Looking to take Dad’s Sunday rides to the next level? A Pedego electric bike is the ultimate coastal cruiser—smooth, stylish and built for coastal adventures. Whether he’s zipping through Corona del Mar or coasting along the boardwalk to the Balboa Pier, this high-powered upgrade turns any errand or outing into a joy ride. Swing by one of Pedego’s locations on the Balboa Peninsula or in Corona del Mar to pick out the perfect model. Then, map out a Father’s Day ride with ocean views (and maybe a taco stop along the way).
Round of Golf at Pelican Hill Golf Club
If Dad’s idea of a perfect day involves a crisp polo, sunshine and the satisfying sound of a well-hit drive, treat him to a round at the stunning Pelican Hill Golf Club. This world-class golf course offers 36 championship holes, ocean views that just won’t quit and the kind of scenic setting that turns a casual game into a full-on experience. Whether he’s a seasoned golfer or just loves a day on the green, a tee time here is the ultimate Father’s Day gift.
Whale-Watching Adventure
For the dad who loves nature (or just wants an excuse to spend a few hours on the water), a whale-watching tour in Newport Beach makes for the perfect Father’s Day gift idea. While blue whale season peaks between May and November, dolphins, sea lions and other marine life can be spotted year-round. Book a trip with local favorites like Newport Landing, Davey’s Locker or Newport Coastal Adventure—all of which offer daily tours led by expert guides. It’s the perfect way to treat Dad to some fresh ocean air and a front-row seat to SoCal’s marine magic.
Best Gifts for the Adventurous Dad
SUP Glow Tour with Pirate Coast Paddle Company
Get Dad off the couch and onto the water with a paddleboard rental on the Back Bay. Pirate Coast Paddle Company offers rentals and lessons for all skill levels. And, if you really want to impress him, book their evening SUP Glow Tour, where the paddleboards light up the water below! It’s equal parts workout and water adventure, and way more fun than another Father’s Day dinner.
Private Surf Lesson with Endless Sun Surf School
If Dad has always wanted to hang ten, now’s the time. Gift him a private surf lesson by the Newport Pier with Endless Sun Surf School and watch his inner grom come to life. They’ve been teaching surf stoke since the ‘60s and know how to make even first-timers feel like pros. Bonus points if you show up with a GoPro and a post-surf burrito.
Helicopter Tour with OC Helicopters
Want to go full throttle on Father’s Day? Gift him a sky-high adventure with OC Helicopters. Their coastal tours take off from the Atlantic Terminal at John Wayne Airport and offer unbeatable aerial views of Newport Beach, Catalina Island and Orange County’s most iconic landmarks. And with the expert navigation of chief pilot military vet Ric Webb, this experience is a high-flying, once-in-a-lifetime gift he’ll never forget.
Best Gifts for Dads Who Love to Relax
Captain’s Quarter Zip from Newport Beach The Label
For the dad who values comfort but refuses to sacrifice style, the Captain’s Quarter Zip from Newport Beach the Label is the ultimate laid-back luxury. The ribbed knit cuffs, hem, and inside collar add structure and comfort, while clean white left-chest embroidery nods subtly to Newport’s nautical heritage. This pullover moves seamlessly from dockside breezes to evening coastal gatherings.
Poolside Massage at Spa Pendry
Give him the gift of R&R this Father’s Day by booking him a poolside massage at Spa Pendry—where luxury meets total relaxation. From June through September, this world-class spa at Pendry Newport Beach offers al fresco treatments in a sun-drenched cabana setting, complete with foot massages, collagen face masks and the kind of coastal ambiance that melts stress away. It’s the perfect spot for dads who deserve a little pampering (and a lot of peace and quiet). Just be sure to reserve ahead—these spots go fast!
Set Sail With Dad on a Private Yacht Charter
Skip the usual gift and celebrate Father’s Day on the water with a private charter from Newport Coast Marine Yacht Charters. Treat Dad to a few hours of effortless luxury as you cruise along Newport Beach’s coastline or through the calm harbor, complete with a seasoned captain and crew handling every detail. Think sunshine, ocean breezes and front-row views—whether he’s posted up on deck with a drink in hand or taking in the scenery with the family. It’s relaxed, elevated and exactly the kind of experience Dad actually wants.
