HERE IS THE SKINNY ON NEWPORT HARBOR
The 1st stop in the SWBA 2006 "Race for the Cup"
Newport Harbor is known as one of the finest small boat harbors in the world. It is as functional as it is beautiful. Boat slips line most of the shoreline, in addition to mid channel anchorage. All size recreational and commercial boats can be accommodated, from the smallest of rowboats to large luxury yachts. Private homes, from small beach houses to ellegant estates, line the harbor's contour.
Upper Newport Bay consists of marshlands, small sandbars, saltflats and sheer cliffs. This portion of Newport Bay has been left in its natural state to serve as a bird sanctuary and fishery habitat. An encircling pathway and a bike trail provide scenic vistas and quiet moments away from the normal hustle and bustle of Newport Harbor.
