Newport Beach & Cute Local Shops

In the US, you can never go to the beach too many times! And sure enough, I was back to check out Newport Beach this weekend 🌊. 🍴 Malibu Farm – A Familiar Favorite I was so excited to find out Malibu Farm—my go-to spot from before—has a location here! Of course, I didn’t miss it. I stuck to my “safe” order (it’s delicious and keeps my blood sugar in check—win-win! 😊). My partner’s a total burger fanatic 🍔, so they got a burger (surprise, surprise!) wherever we go. For the kids, we ordered fish, and it was incredibly good. This place is foolproof—you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! It’s perfect for someone like me who hates doing research and often orders blindly 🎯. 🛍️ Wandering the Cute Local Shops After lunch, we popped into the street-side boutiques—and they were so fun to browse! Lots of them carry American designer brands, with unique pieces you don’t see everywhere. We spent a good while hopping from shop to shop, checking out cute clothes, accessories, and little home decor bits—total retail therapy vibes 🛍️. 🌊 Off to the Beach! Once we finished shopping, we headed straight to the beach. Parking was $12.50 for 3 hours—not too bad for a prime beach spot 🅿️. We spent the afternoon soaking up the sun, feeling the sea breeze on our faces, and watching the kids play in the sand—it was the perfect lazy weekend vibe 🏖️. #NorthAmericanTwoKidLife #IrvineMom #BeachRestaurant #NewportRestaurant #LAWeekendGetaway #MalibuFarm #BeachBreeze #Irvine
