Learn to Sail Vacations
Make your next vacation in beautiful Newport Beach, CA! Our mild climate, beautiful beaches, and award winning restaurants are just a few of the reasons visitors come to experience Newport Beach. As one of the largest recreational harbors in the world, Newport offers endless activities from boating, kayaking and gondola rides, to bike riding and waterfront dining. Most importantly, our unique location offers boaters the opportunity to enjoy more of California's stunning coastline in just a short day sail. To the south of Newport Harbor lies the stunning riviera known as Newport Coast, followed by the majestic, rocky cliffs of Laguna Beach. Just a little further south lies the quaint, quiet and beautiful Dana Point, which can be reached under sail in less than three hours. There is also the famous island town of Avalon, Catalina just four and half hours away or "Twenty-six miles across the sea, Santa Catalina is waiting for me!" Last but not least, head north 3 hours to Alamitos Bay.
