Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort lights up the bay for Newport Beach this holiday season

Residents and visitors can rock around the Christmas tree this holiday season on the boardwalk at the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort & Marina.

The 30th annual Lighting of the Bay kicked off Friday and members of the public will be able to view it for free through Jan. 1. On-site parking will cost $10 per car. Limited street parking is available.

Guests can also come visit the resort to see the lights and enjoy fireside dining or organize private holiday drive-in events — both personal and corporate — at the hotel in a year where traditional holiday celebrations are discouraged to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The Newport Dunes is located at 1131 Back Bay Drive in Newport Beach.
