A "Classically Newport" Weekend

If you are looking for a quiet weekend away for Spring Break this year, look no further then Newport Beach, and save yourself travel time and money. Spend a weekend away at The Balboa Bay Club and Resort, or even rent your own private villa on the coast. Then pair these delicious accommodations, with an equally gourmet picnic lunch along the beach. Just enjoy the beautiful surroundings that Newport has to offer.

On Saturday, take the afternoon explore on of Newport's unique local galleries. One of the local galleries that we especially enjoy is the Rainey Fine Art Gallery. Now through the 14th of April, they are displaying several different artists, entitled "Maps, Botanicals, and Shells." This display will feature etchings and watercolors from the 1600’s to the 1800’s. Notable artists include Bellin, Visscher, Blackwell, Martini, Bessa and Curtis. You can also check out custom jewelry made by Tigris Designs, or elegant ceramics created by Mary Ann Nethercutt and Stephanie Whitaker.

To complete the weekend, take a cruise out on the water, or a gondola ride through the harbor, with dinner at the Alley Restaurant right in the heart of town. Spark the relationship blues with a charming and enchanting weekend in Newport!

  1. I've never been to Newport Beach, but it sounds fab. That's awesome that you can take a gondola ride. I wish you had posted more pictures of the area!
