NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA

A HARBOR TOWN SINCE 1906

Life on the water, schedules on land

Newport Beach grew up around one of the largest small boat harbors on the West Coast. The Balboa Island ferry has carried three cars at a time across the bay since 1919, and the Christmas Boat Parade has lit up the harbor every December since 1908. Today the city mixes yacht clubs, company headquarters and some of the best dinners in Orange County. Clients here notice when the car is late. When two pickups land at the same time, Uways helps you find a trusted driver nearby and hand one over.
