Newport Back Bay - One of the Best Kayaking Spots in Newport Beach, CA

Besides Huntington Harbor, another one of our favorite spots to go kayaking in Southern California is Newport Bay in Newport Beach. Besides having plenty of parking, there are also two drastically different routes that you can take. The first route is to kayak through the serene nature preserve, where you can see different types of birds and marine life, such as stingrays. The other route is to head toward the busy harbors and make a loop around Balboa Island. This is why we love this place so much because we can choose which routes to take depending on how we feel that day or who we’re taking with us. Since motorized vessels are not allowed here, the nature preserve route is perfect for beginner kayakers. If you are more comfortable on your kayak, the Balboa Island Route is really fun because you get through small channels and under bridges. However, you will have to watch out for boats and the Balboa Ferry.

Tell the world and then hate how crowded the place has become! Brilliant!

[@drcamba]

Wow!! Thanks so much for sharing this video; super helpful! Wanting to check this place out next month and bring family. Do you know if they allow inflatable kayaks at Newport Back Bay? Thanks!!

[@ThatAdventureLife]

Glad we could help! It's a really fun place spot. I'm quite sure that there aren't any restrictions on what kind of kayaks you use. Just keep an eye on the weather. You can get strong afternoon winds there and you might be fighting a head wind on the way back

[@arod4084]

Great info! May I ask where did you get your Cresent Kayak from.

[@ThatAdventureLife]

Thanks man! Unfortunately the company we got them from went out of business. The closest place you can get them from is headwaters kayak in nor cal. I've been bugging them to get a so Cal distributer
