Tucked away in Upper Newport Bay, North Star Beach is a unique spot known for its calm waters and connection to the Newport Aquatic Center. Recommended by the Newport Beach Independent and local paddling groups, it’s a hub for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and birdwatching. Unlike ocean-facing beaches, it offers a peaceful, nature-focused experience that’s perfect for families and those looking to connect with the local environment. The nearby wetlands are a haven for wildlife and make this beach a rewarding detour from the busier coast.
