They have a lot of free events going on all of the time, but my most favorites are the ones around Christmas time. Went to their tree lighting event and it was super fun. Holiday decor all around! There were stations with various activities for kids and some for adults as well. It was planned well. They always do such a great job. Got to make some s'mores and try Bailey's horchata alcoholic drink-- tasty and creamy dessert! Santa and a few of his crew made an appearance, performances of cutest kiddos singing holiday songs. It's Christmas at the beach! What more could anyone want?

Ocean Front Lot is a huge public park lot in Newport Beach. It is located right in front of the…read morebeach with many bars and restaurants nearby. It has multiple parking ticket stations that accept credit card or cash. Price per hour cost $4/hour which isn't cheap. Furthermore, this lot gets full very fast during weekends and events. Visitors tend to circle around the lot for at least 40 mins to an hour to find a car spot. Also, parking security is strict if your tkt has expired. It may cost you an arm and a leg. Street parking is available but some post sign 2 hr parking only. Overall, it's a nice parking lot because it's a foot away from the beach.

They have a few pay stations, so you put the little ticket on your dashboard. It requires you put your license plate number into the machine, so remember it. The spaces are plenty wide, so if you have concerns for carefree beach goers giving you a 'door ding,' you should be okay. Being that this is a popular area, getting a spot is not always easy, there is usually more demand than spots, but be patient. The lot hours are 8am - 6pm, any time outside that window these spaces are FREE.

I was here in Long Beach watching the news and getting ready for school when I watched as the second plane hit the 2nd tower. That memory has been with me since. While on a weekend trip to san diego we visited the air and space museum and were surprised to see a cruiser on display that was actually at ground zero! When I got back I thought to myself "I wonder if there's other artifacts that I can see around town". A quick search showed that there were pieces of steel from the towers here. So on 9/11 of last year, we drove out here to see the memorial and have a moment of silence for the victims. The memorial is located at the bottom of the staircase in a pentagon shaped base and honors all lost in the towers, flights as well as first responders. In the center stands a steel beam that was part of WTC donated by NYC Fire and Police. It's quite surreal seeing an object from that dark day in history.

I wanted to spend some more time outside on the beach, so I got takeout, but sitting inside would have given me a nice view too as it's right at the end of the pier. The lobster roll ( I got the chilled version as it was a hot day) was absolutely delicious and the fries were perfect, crispy and not greasy at all. Wow!! The lobster roll is a little bit pricey a $25 and to add on fries was an extra $6 but both items get 5/5 for taste.

Grossly overrated…read more They claim to have a world famous Lobster Roll. It was subpar. Especially compared to the New England lobster rolls. I had a warm butter lobster roll with extra lobster. The lobster roll is 25 dollars and the extra lobster was 15. The roll is served on a grilled hot dog bun and the only thing on it is the lobster which was rubbery because it was over cooked, butter and coarse sea salt. I had a canned Diet Coke with it. That's it. My bill was 50 bucks including the small tip. It simply was not worth it. It's very obviously a tourist attraction since it sets at the end of the pier. The views are great the food, not so much. The inside reminded me of a 70's style tacky diner that had not been cleaned properly. The service was lacking. There was only one person that ran the register and served the food. You could tell she didn't enjoy her job. Do yourself a favor enjoy your walk to the end of the pier then turn around and find much better food somewhere else.

The area is well kept, and there is a reasonable amount of parking to be had, this said, the day and time chosen makes the difference between a hidden gem of a beach and Thunderdome - plan thoughtfully. There's a decently kept restroom and play area, and the last few times I've been here it seems like they're keeping a good handle on the homeless situation, but like anywhere, be thoughtful of your surroundings. Timing wise the morning is lots of surfers, during the summer the mid-day is general beach going population (lots of families who know the deal of an easy beach with free parking), the afternoons are up for grabs, and after 4p you're competing with residents who (understandably) do not care all that much about your afternoon at their home in comparison to having a parking space for the evening. ;)
