Kayaking Newport Bay: A Look At Launching Locations, Attractions, And A Trip Around Lido Isle

Kayaking in Newport Bay.
We'll be taking a look at 3 locations to launch kayaks, some of the various attractions near them, and then meet up with with my buds from work, Guru and Robert, who go by the "Lost Boys" and my old buddy Rob who has yak'd these waters with me many a time.
Mia and I spent the weekend in Newport, gathering footage on Saturday of Balboa Island and Balboa Fun Zone. Video on that coming up. Then we stayed the night at the Marriott Bayview. We went for a great morning walk on the Bayview Trail which is right off of the hotel property. Then we went over to the Newport Aquatic Center where with embarked on a 5.5 mile trip down to the Lower Newport Bay and around Lido Isle. I'm calling it the Lido Loop, so now it's official. Ha ha. Lastly we stop by Caliente Grill in Costa Mesa, which is a regular stop for us after kayaking the bay. It's just minutes away from Newport Aquatic Center, it's delicious, and it's cheap.
Check out the links below for more info on the places we visited in the video.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy.

Two great places to rent kayaks and paddle boards:
Newport Aquatic Center: https://newportaquaticcenter.com/
Southwind Kayak Center: https://www.southwindkayaks.com/
We usually go to NAC though because they have a larger beach area and more parking, and we usually want to set up a canopy and chairs on the beach and hang out. Rob loves to bring his grill and cook up a great lunch after we yak.. SKC is great if you just want to get in and get out.
