Real Newport | Balboa/ Newport Beach, California |
Newport Beach had been a lesser known part of California- until the sizzing hot soap opera, The O.C. debut throughout the world. Now, people think that they are familiar with NB- or, rather the entire Orange county. However, one must take note that the show is actually filmed 40 miles away in Hermosa Beach in Los Angeles county! TV is not reality thank God!
Well, here I will add some insider info and more pictures of the real NB. This group of pages deserves much more attention but for now , I give an overall synopsis and a brief list of where to go and what to do on a trip in THINGS TO DO! Though my set of LB doesn't reflect this, there are numerous great dining spots here- too many that I have to do still!!
This has been home to NBA superstars, Dennis Rodman and Kobe Bryant, who is still here. Rodman certainly left his mark here by having crazy -scandalous parties at his beach home which were well-reported locally on the news. |

|  | The "Capital" City of O.C. When speaking of capital as money, NB is clearly the capital city of O.C!
Generally, if you live want to live here comfortably, you have to be super rich, rich, or very upper middle class!! At least if you are not loaded with cash, you can still enjoy the scene here! |
Newport Balboa Coast Oh, so lovely!!

| Pros: | "beautiful coast, almost immaculate, countless quality and unique shops, top notch restaurants, and fun entertainment at Balboa" | | Cons: | "the strong air of arrogance & superficiality stemming from crazy wealth in some parts!" | | In A Nutshell: | "You'll have a grand time in Newport even if you don't have several grands in your credit account!" |

Hey bus lady! So when are we going to stalk the cast of the O.C then?! I'll get the shades and the camoflage gear, Supune knows the layout. We're sorted! Seriously, when's it on? Ha ha (sort of but not really). I'm loving the LA pages. Sophie |
