Just because Southern California is known for its glorious beaches, it doesn’t mean we locals get to enjoy the sea and the sun as much as we’d like to. But, when we do carve out some time for a beach day, we love heading to some of the hidden gems only locals know about. And this little slice of paradise tucked inside Newport Beach is a local favorite.
