Ocean Front Lot is a huge public park lot in Newport Beach. It is located right in front of the…read morebeach with many bars and restaurants nearby. It has multiple parking ticket stations that accept credit card or cash. Price per hour cost $4/hour which isn't cheap. Furthermore, this lot gets full very fast during weekends and events. Visitors tend to circle around the lot for at least 40 mins to an hour to find a car spot. Also, parking security is strict if your tkt has expired. It may cost you an arm and a leg. Street parking is available but some post sign 2 hr parking only. Overall, it's a nice parking lot because it's a foot away from the beach.

They have a few pay stations, so you put the little ticket on your dashboard. It requires you put your license plate number into the machine, so remember it. The spaces are plenty wide, so if you have concerns for carefree beach goers giving you a 'door ding,' you should be okay. Being that this is a popular area, getting a spot is not always easy, there is usually more demand than spots, but be patient. The lot hours are 8am - 6pm, any time outside that window these spaces are FREE.

The location is on the corner of Harbor and Newport/ 55 freeway so it's can traffic-ky. Parking is great, since they have their own underground parking. The vibe here is great in the weekend but if you want chill vibe, weekday would be it. Staff are great for majority of places and good value overall.

I have not been to Triangle Square in what feels like a lifetime. I used to live right down the…read morestreet and remember when Triangle Square was really popular. Sadly, I think it's gone downhill over the years. I see so much potential for what it could be, but it's just not. I do think the Western Bar was a good edition and Seville is nice too. But, it feels really run down. When I went today, none of the escalators were operational and they were extremely dirty with gum stuck all over. I'm not sure if the elevators were working or not, or maybe just really slow! I could not find a public bathroom, and still not sure if one existed. I'd love to see Triangle Square get some shops, maybe a dirty soda shop or ice cream. I think it is a great location and has so much potential.

Lido Marina Village is a waterside shopping and dining center with high-end retail shops. I…read morerecently came here to check out a pop-up market event in December 2025. [Parking]: There's a designated parking structure for the village. The rate is $10.00 for the first hour, $2.50 each 15 minutes, and $50.00 daily max. Visitors can get a complimentary all day self-parking when spending $250 or more at any of retail merchants within the village - just show receipt(s) totaling $250 or more to the parking attendant. Complimentary 1 hour self-parking with validation with any tenant listed in the Lido Marina Village's directory. [IMPORTANT SPECIAL NOTE]: Herst Coffee Roasters does NOT validate the parking ticket! Only the following dine & drink places validate: Circle Hook, La La Land Kind Cafe (coming soon), Lido Bottle Works, Malibu Farm, Nobu, Skal Pizza, and Zinque. Basically there's no easy "affordable" way to get your ticket validated except for one tip. [PARKING TIP]: I was able to get a free validation at Malibu Farm Lido Home Collection. I simply walked up to the cashier counter and said that I need ticket validation & cashier validated my ticket without asking for any receipts. [Experience]: The village has a nice shoreline view. Check the event page on their website for live music on the Lido Deck performance, floral workshops, etc. [Conclusion]: If I compare this village to other high-end shopping centers in LA/Orange County, then I think retail shop options are pretty mediocre (I like 2ND & PCH a lot better). Good spot to take Instagrammable pictures, but expect doing mostly window shopping than actual shopping at this village.

Lido Marina Village is a delightful waterfront destination that blends chic boutiques, great…read morerestaurants, and beautiful views. The charming atmosphere makes it perfect for a leisurely stroll, shopping, or enjoying a meal by the water. Parking can be tricky, especially on weekends, since the area gets busy. There are metered spots and some paid parking near Nobu if you drive into the smaller side streets, you may get lucky there. Once you're in, there's so much to enjoy: unique shops, coffee spots, beauty salons, and a wide variety of restaurants. Live music is often hosted right outside Nobu and Zinqué, with plenty of seating and a wonderful waterfront backdrop. Overall, it's a must-visit in Newport Beach for both locals and visitors.

As it is…read morelocated near the beach, the weather is always nice and there are plenty of places to sit and rest your feet at this mall with a nice view of the beach. The mall does tend towards high end stores with a small smattering of standard stores but in general, there are a wide variety of stores. Plenty of dining options from high end or quick casual. You can even do your grocery shopping here as there is a Whole Foods market. They occasionally have special events. I happened to be here during the Lunar New Year event so one of the areas was decked out with Year of the Horse decorations. I also always walk by the Koi pond to see how the fishes are doing. Staff has always been friendly and helpful when I visit.

The Shopping & Entertainment: The Stores: Most of the shops just aren't stores that everyday consumers actually want. It's mostly filled with weird, random boutique stores that no one has ever heard of, charging ridiculous prices like $300 for a single t-shirt. No Movie Theater: For a mall of this size, it's pretty disappointing that they don't even have a movie theater to catch a film. The Silver Lining: Parking: The only consistently good thing about this mall is the parking situation. No matter when you visit, there always seems to be plenty of parking available. Final Verdict: It's a beautiful outdoor space to stroll through, but as a practical place to shop or find entertainment, it's just not the best.

My sister and I decided to stop by The LAB Anti-Mall while exploring Orange County. This place is…read moresuch a fun and unique spot, especially if you enjoy shopping, art, and discovering local businesses. The whole area has a cool, laid back vibe that feels different from your typical shopping center. There are lots of unique shops to browse, along with great food and drink options like Seabirds, Stella Jean's, and other local favorites. Since it's an outdoor shopping center, we got to enjoy the beautiful California sunshine while walking around. One of my favorite parts was all of the art installations scattered throughout the property. They add so much character to the space and make it feel creative and fun. Plus, there are plenty of Instagram worthy spots if you love taking photos. We spent some time checking out the different shops and ended up stopping by Blends. The service there was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful, and took the time to answer my questions without making me feel pressured to buy anything. I ended up finding a pair of Asics sneakers that I absolutely loved. The pricing was also surprisingly good, which made the purchase even better. Whether you're hanging out with friends, looking for unique stores, or exploring Orange County for the day, it's definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!

She was getting me SO HYPED up about this place that I took time out of my weekend to drive 50+ minutes here for a visit - but I ended up disappointed. Of course, I know that Tik Tok are all over this place and there's a bunch of teens posing the same pose at the same spots for likes (like my daughter) so I am sure she had fun with her friends. However, I just wished they had more shops and restaurants for me to hang out at while the kids are in line to take their pics. Overall, I give a 6/10. (My daughter gives it a 11/10 but it's too bad she doesn't have her own Yelp account). Because I am a good mom (lol), I don't mind bringing her back here, but I personally think I'll have a better time shopping at South Coast a few blocks away. P. S. No admission charge. Free parking.

There are plenty of great food and drink options, from quick grab-and-go spots to more upscale sit down restaurants. Lots of new restaurants coming soon as well. One of my favorite touches is the live music. There's usually a guitarist/singer performing in a designated area, which adds to the laid-back atmosphere. It's not random, it feels intentional and professional. The bathrooms are also super clean and thoughtfully designed, with red/green lights above each stall so you can easily see what's available without checking doors. They even have a public piano, and I've heard some incredibly talented travelers play while waiting for their flights.

I flew into John Wayne Airport (SNA) during my most recent trip to California. I was staying in…read moreNewport Beach for a few days and it was only natural to try and find a flight that landed here. The location of SNA is ideal if you're staying in the OC - the only other options in the area are SAN and LAX which are both over an hour drive away in either direction. The airport isn't large, but large enough to have several routes passing through it. The aesthetics are fine - not the most modern airport I've been to, and they seem to have a good amount of shops and eateries relative to their size. The rental car counters are super close to the terminal - I can't remember the last time I walked to one from baggage claim. My only real issue with SNA is that because of its size, you will likely be limited in routes. Flying from JFK to SNA was fine, but coming home my only options were connecting flights or a red eye. Neither were ideal, so I planned my itinerary accordingly to fly out of another airport. Overall, SNA is good for what it is, and a great option if you're visiting the Orange County area.
