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.

Fashion Island is a higher end outdoor mall with some interesting shops and an amazing food court…read more The grounds are beautiful, and it can be fun to just walk around and check everything out. If you have young children, the koi pond with its giant koi fishing can be a huge hit, as there are stepping stones through the middle of the pond and the layout is just gorgeous. There are also several quite amazing water fountains that they'll love running around. Plus it can even give you an excuse to do so! Not to mention, there are numerous stores to visit, including a legendary three or four-story Restoration Hardware with ocean views, an Apple store, tons of boutique clothing shops, Nordstroms, and a few places to enjoy lunch. There is also a PF Chang's with ocean views. Don't forget the amazing gelato place either! It moved from its old location so check the map. It's still there. Service-wise, this is higher end so you can expect decent service wherever you're at. Overall five stars. This is an OC institution.

Update on HUGE cockroach infestation at Fashion Island (FI), Newport Beach…read more Went to FI this 2026 summer and after three summers, I am happy to report the cockroaches are gone. The Irvine company that owns and runs FI never responded to my emails requesting they rid their sewers of the infestation but finally they have acted and now, FI is clean and cockroach free. Hope it stays that way because it was so tragic to experience such a traumatic event year after year. Now they must act and remove the rats scurrying around between Lululemon and Macys. Rats are easier to eliminate than cockroaches but shame on FI for allowing rats to roam freely. Rats are so gross!!!

I wanted to share feedback regarding the parking payment system used by the City of Newport. The…read morecurrent third-party payment apps are highly inefficient and caused difficulties for everyone in the line. Specifically, the system does not accept Apple Pay and only permits Google Pay through these third-party platforms. Additionally, there is no support number available to assist users when issues arise. My advice for anyone visiting is to arrive early and bring a physical credit card. The City should consider transitioning to a QR code and Apple Pay system, similar to the methods implemented by surrounding cities.

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!

I have not been to Triangle Square in what feels like a lifetime. I used to live right down the…read morestreet and remember when Triangle Square was really popular. 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!
