Newport Bay-Bayside Drive Beach

Larger among other harbor pocket beaches in Newport Harbor, Bayside is located just past the Balboa Yacht Club. There is a volleyball net, and for rowers and paddlers, it is a good location for launching vessels. There is nearby street parking. 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.
