Santa Ana River Beach in Newport Beach, California
Santa Ana River Beach is the northernmost beach in Newport Beach, CA. The main beach is just south of the Santa Ana River channel, but the area on both sides of the channel are considered Santa Ana River County Beach. Surfers enjoy the surf conditions at this location and simply call it “River Jetties” instead of the longer official name. Turn at Orange Street off PCH and park along Seashore Drive as close to the river as possible. A protected path crosses the river on the bridge to JG Island where it connects to the Santa Ana River Trail and the Huntington Beach Bike Trail. Both of these are great biking opportunities to explore the area. It is not advised to enter the river because of contaminated water from street runoff.
