MARINER’S mile
/ westcliff

The automotive and nautical heart of Newport Beach beats on this stretch of Pacific Coast Highway known as Mariner’s Mile, and is home to million-dollar yachts and luxury cars. With several dealers, boaters can make a splash on a mega yacht or superyacht, two classes of top of the line luxury yachts.

The Westcliff neighborhood is a community rich in active outdoor adventures with a chic shopping experience sprinkled in. There are several trails and walking paths among the 1,000 acres of open space surrounding Upper Newport Bay Park, and the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve. The coastal wetlands area is renowned as one of the best bird-watching sites in North America. Perched above the back bay is Castaways Park, which offers spectacular bay and harbor views from the bluffs.

Undoubtedly you don’t want to leave and you don’t have to. Check into the elegant Balboa Bay Resort, which is right on the harbor, and offers a luxurious retreat from all the action outside. Car aficionados will admire the dealerships offering luxury automobiles and European sports cars along Coast Highway. You don’t need to have the buying power to get behind the wheel of a rare ride.
