Newport Bay-10th Street Beach

10th Street Beach is located on the bay side of Balboa Peninsula. It is a small, calm beach, good for children, though there are no lifeguards or rest rooms. Limited street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood. Public metered parking is available on Balboa Blvd. The beach runs between 8th and 10th streets on West Bay Avenue. To access by car, make a left onto 9th St from Balboa Blvd and then make another left onto Bay Ave to arrive at beach. Reminders: There is a 3-day rain advisory after each rain storm, use caution as bacteria levels can increase during this period. The County Environmental Health staff advises swimmers that levels of bacteria can rise significantly in ocean and bay waters adjacent to storm drains, creeks and rivers. Swimmers should avoid coastal waters impacted by discharging storm drains creeks and rivers, and beach users should avoid contact with any runoff on the beach during dry or wet weather conditions. As an extra precaution remain 500 ft away on either side from any outfalls.
