Fall in Love with the Peninsula: 5 Things to Do This Season in Newport Beach
While most places are settling into sweaters and grey skies, fall in Newport Beach feels like a secret season. The crowds thin, the water stays warm, and golden hour stretches just a little longer. At Peninsula Village, this time of year offers a more peaceful rhythm. It’s a chance to slow down, settle in, and experience the best of coastal living without compromise.
Here are five ways to savor the season from your home base at Peninsula Village.
Sunset Walks
With the summer rush behind us, fall brings a slower pace to Newport Beach. The beach feels calm and the early evening light is especially beautiful this time of year. It’s a great season for evening walks along the water or taking in views from the boardwalk.
Cozy Up With Seasonal Dishes and Waterfront Views
Many of our favorite local restaurants roll out fall-inspired dishes and warm cocktails as the seasons shift. Think tapas-style bites CasaDamí, pasta and pizza at Buona Forchetta, or wood-fire grill and rotisserie's signature delights at Shorebird with a view of the bay. A change in season is always a good reason to revisit your regular favorites and discover something new on the menu.
Spend a Weekend on the Water
Fall might just be the best boating weather of the year. Mornings are calm, the air is crisp, and the harbor is peaceful. For Peninsula Village residents, the marina is just steps away, making it easy to spend your weekends out on the water. Whether it is a spontaneous cruise or a dockside lunch with friends, your boat becomes an extension of your lifestyle.
Shop, Sip, and Stroll
As the holidays approach, fall is the perfect time to ease into the season. Explore Peninsula Village’s curated mix of shops, wellness and dining to lean into the cooler nights. Just around the corner, Lido Marina Village brings the festivities with its annual Make It Merry celebration on December 6th. Guests can meet Santa Claus, enjoy seasonal treats and activities, and shop for gifts in a festive waterfront setting
Experience Newport Beach at Its Most Relaxed
Without the summer traffic or winter chill, fall offers a rare balance of calm and beauty. It is the ideal time to explore the neighborhood, meet your neighbors, and experience the laid-back energy that defines the Peninsula Village lifestyle. It feels like a small coastal town with everything you could want right outside your door.
