About 22 square miles of Newport Beach's total 40 square miles are water. The communities of Corona del Mar, Balboa Island, Newport Coast, San Joaquin Hills, and Balboa Peninsula have all formally become part of Newport Beach.
Newport Beach, located 50 miles south of Los Angeles and 85 miles north of San Diego, has developed its own coastal identity by adopting the best features of its famous southern California neighbors. The result is an atmosphere of "seaside sophistication."
