Newport Beach boasts the largest and cleanest beaches in California. When you visit our resort destination, you'll discover that we're only about 75 paces from either the ocean or bay beaches, just steps to a 3 mile boardwalk along the ocean front between Newport and Balboa Piers. And since we enjoy ocean breezes, we're rarely too hot or too cold.

Featuring one of the world’s most pristine beaches along the California Riviera, the Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel is your destination when you want to experience the real O.C. With a multitude of water and boating activities, sightseeing, skating, biking, boogie boarding, surfing, shopping and much more, the Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel is a great place to plan your fun-filled getaway.

In 2006, the Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel was selected as one of the Top Ten Best Hidden Gems in the USA by TripAdvisor. Selected by the largest travel community in the world, TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice awards showcase hotels who have earned their distinction from those who know them best - real travelers like you.
