If you happen to miss the big Wine Festival in May,
you shouldn’t worry as the area has a lot of fine
restaurants to keep you coming back for more. One
of the local favorites here, and a favorite for many
visitors is the Chimayo Grill.
The Chimayo Grill is located on Fashion Island, in
the chic shopping oasis. After a long day of
shopping, nothing beats going to the grill for lunch
or dinner. Starting with the legendary tequila
infusion is great, as it consists of fresh fruit
marinated in tequila. Although they taste light
and fruity, they are full of tequila and pack quite
a punch!
The grill is decorated in a Sante Fe style, being
casual, but yet unique. You simply can’t go wrong
here, as all of the food they serve is great. With
so much to choose from here, you may find that it
takes quite a few trips to sample everything they
have to offer.
Being on Fashion Island in Newport Beach, the
Chimayo Grill is in a perfect setting. You can
take the kids here as well, as the grill has a nice
setting. For a night out as a family or a night out
to have fun – the Chimayo Grill adds a bit of spice
to Fashion Island – as well as Newport Beach.
Even though Newport Beach has many attractions, one
of the most popular is the beaches. There are
beaches on the peninsula and in Corona del Mar. On
the peninsula, there is the infamous spot “The Wedge”,
which is great for body surfing.
From the Balboa Peninsula to Avalon, there is the
Catalina Flyer. This 500 passenger giant provides
the daily transportation. For residents, the Flyer
is the preferred means of transportation.
The Balboa Fun Zone is a great attraction as well,
offering a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, bumper cars,
and several shops and restaurants. Located on the
Balboa Peninsula, the Fun Zone is great for kids.
The island of Balboa is actually an artificial
island found in Newport Harbor. The island was dredged
and filled shortly before World War 1. Between the
island and the peninsula, the Balboa Island Ferry
works to transport pedestrians and their belongings.
Newport Beach also offers a wildlife sanctuary, known
as the Back Bay. Nearby, Fashion Island helps to
provide shopping experiences for those who like to
shop and splurge.
For many reasons, Newport Beach is very worthy of a
visit or a vacation. Even though it’s one of the
undiscovered treasures of California, there is plenty
to be found here. If you’ve been looking for an area
with lots of attractions, look for further than Newport
Beach.
