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.

Had lunch at Zinque and shopped at Lido. Food was okay. Some shops are good, but some stores need better merchandising skills. I got two validation cards from Lido V retail vendor for two hours stay, but this dim-witted boy who was working at the exit area said this lot only accepts one validation card and charged me $15 instead of full price $25. WTH?! No such rule/policy posted anywhere at the entrance. I've never experienced such stupidity in Rodeo or dtla. Coincidentally, this lot is owned by LAZ parking. So annoying!

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.

We paid for parking for thw maximum two hours to go parasailing at Balboa Parasail, which should've only taken 90 minutes. The boat took a long time to come back to shore from the group that was before us, and that ate into our time. This would be avoided if the maximum time allowed to park is more than two hours. Three to four hours is much more realistic and reasonable! After we finished parasailing, we came back to the car with a $65 parking ticket, which was not our fault since the parasailing company wasn't on time and that pushed everything back. This put a big damper on the rest of what was supposed to be a nice day out with friends. I feel like these parking lot attendants are just counting down the seconds before they can slap your car with an expensive parking ticket. How disappointing! I'm definitely not coming back to this area, and I'm definitely not ever going to park in this lot again. Thieves, I say! Highway robbers! These kinds of tickets should not be legal. Even one of the skippers of Balboa Park said they get these tickets all the time and they can't even get out of them. That just goes to show how ruthless the people who own and operate Palm Lot are. You can't even cut your business neighbors a break as they're trying to scrape a living? Come on, guys! Do better!
