Missing Newport Beach

    There's something to be said about  the beauty of Newport Beach in the Summer, and in my opinion half of it has nothing to do with its waters. When I revisited this lovely side of SoCal last with RJ and Lovelee, I realized how much of a fan I always was of the peaceful, bright and relaxing facade of the shore, not to mention the vast spread of fine bright sand that this residential beauty also boasts of. And although baking in the sun and engaging in conversation over beers almost always takes over the "verb" of our beach visits, we just pretty much kicked back in the sand and did nothing--cause the beach does have that effect on you. We kinda felt like we were, in contrast, living inside a huge pretty painting that never washes away through time. Newport Beach has that unique claim to fame that otherwise some beaches don't normally  have--character. I like how this beach owns that, blurring the lines between rustic and modern, and how it has a certain look and feel to it that generates so much likability and appeal. Would love to go back in April.
