There are few places in Newport Beach where history and ocean views meet so seamlessly. Doryman’s Oceanfront Inn sits directly on the sand of the Balboa Peninsula, just steps from the Newport Pier, offering an experience that feels both classic and coastal. From the moment guests arrive, the sound of the waves and the scent of salt air create an immediate sense of place. The inn’s Victorian-style design stands out among the modern beachfront architecture around it, giving visitors a glimpse of Newport’s early days. Each guest room is only a short walk to the shoreline, making it effortless to begin the morning with a beach stroll or end the evening watching the sun sink into the Pacific. Staying at Doryman’s is less about passing through and more about being part of the beach itself — the kind of setting that reminds you why Newport Beach became a coastal icon.
