The city has many exotic beaches and tourist attractions to explore, and it lives up to its name- of being one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in whole California. Even for a ride around the city, there is no shortage of good quality Orange County limo service providers. It is on you to decide where to go and which of the lavish OC limos to select for your tour through the heart of the city. This article will assist you in doing that. Read it through.

Places to visit on a Newport Beach Limo tour

There are lot many places to visit, and lot many exciting activities to participate in, but I am going to suggest only those places that will complement your ride-the luxurious Orange County limo.

Balboa Peninsula

Balboa Peninsula has derived its name from Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa. This beautiful subsection of Newport Beach city stretches across 3 miles. Balboa is mainly known for its welcoming nature and The Wedge, body-boarding hot-spot. It also has one of the world’s largest small-yacht harbors, and two scenic piers: Newport and Balboa Piers, which make the peninsula one of the best urban beaches in the United States.

Other places to visit in Balboa Peninsula

You must include Balboa Fun Zone, Balboa Inn, Balboa Pavilion, and Balboa Theater in your travel plan. You can also take a ride through the heart of peninsula using Balboa Island Ferry service. And if you love seafood then The Crab Cooker is a must-visit place for you.

The Orange County Museum of Art

For a 20th century art lover, this is a must-visit place. It has more than 2,500 modern and contemporary arts and objects on display. It includes traditional paintings, photographs, and sculptures. The prime focus of this museum is to showcase works of Californian artists. The museum also hosts monthly events where artists share their experience and talk about their works. Some events also focus on engaging young kids through various activities.

There are several other exotic locations in the city, which is worth exploring, and a good Newport Beach limo service provider knows where all to take you. You will be given a chauffeur who knows in and out of the neighborhood to take you around the city.

Word of caution

There are several not-so-trustworthy Orange County limo companies with unreliable fleet. You must cross check all the OC limos that you have shortlisted before committing to one.

It’s a great place to get away from it all but still have it all. It is a small, population approximately 72,000, affluent city surrounded by major attractions.
Rent a condo or villa, stay at an inexpensive motel, park your RV at the Newport Dunes Resort & Marina, check into a medium priced hotel or pamper yourself at a luxury hotel like the Balboa Bay Club & Resort which shares the same address as the Balboa Bay Club (“The Balboa Bay Club which boasts a star-studded history with a guest register bearing the signatures of luminaries, including John Wayne, Ronald and Nancy Regan, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood and many more.”), Four Seasons, Hyatt Regency, Mariott or the Balboa Inn.
Dine at one of the many excellent restaurants like the Newport Landing Restaurant (“Newport Landing is Newport Beach. Located on the Bay overlooking the historic Balboa Ferry with a panoramic view of Newport Harbor, Balboa Island, Newport Center, and the distant peaks of Saddleback.”), The Ritz Restaurant & Garden (“Synonymous with elegance, gracious service and award-winning cuisine.”), The Sol Restaurant in the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach (Featuring World Island cuisine from the Caribbean, South Pacific, and Gulf of Mexico.), Woody’s Wharf (“Live entertainment Friday and Saturday night. Valet parking and quest slips available fo the boaters.”) or The Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom (“Famous for its world-renowned cupola and illuminated by more than 1,400 white lights, the Balboa Pavilion has served as the beacon of Newport Beach for almost a century.”). These are but a few of the fine restaurants in Newport Beach.
Spend some time at the clean sandy beaches, cruise the large smooth water harbor while viewing the large yachts and multi million dollar homes, charter a sport fishing boat, rent a sail boat, have a party or get married on a chartered yacht, take a ride in a gondola, visit the Orange County Museum of Art, visit the many gift shops, art galleries and sidewalk cafes on Balboa Island, visit the boardwalk shops and restaurants at Newport Pier, visit or take a swim at Pirates Cove, which is best known for the filming of Gilligans Island, go hikeing, horseback riding, scuba diving or surfing at Crystal Cove State Park or catch a ride to Catalina Island.
If for some reason you need more to do, close by you will find Disneyland in Anaheim, Knott’s Berry Farm and Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park and golf courses galore.
