You can enjoy Villa Nova, Chart House, Billy's at the Beach, Rusty Pelican, and Joe's Crab Shack, all with great views of the harbor. Further along PCH and into Mariner's Mile you will find a Starbucks, Garlic Jo's Restaurant and several other restaurants and diners to experience.
If you are in the mood for some more serious shopping, Mariner's Mile is also the automotive and marine center of Newport Beach, CA. There is a BMW dealership and several boutique auto stores specializing in high end luxury and sports cars. If you have your sea legs, there are boat and yacht dealers along the marina that can help you to live the dream and set sail (or motor) across the waves.
The city of Newport Beach's long term plan for this section of Pacific Coast Highway is to develop "Mariner's Village" around the intersection of PCH and Riverside and Tustin Avenues. This is the core of Mariner's Mile, and the city of Newport Beach plans to reinforce its potential to become the heart of an active, pedestrian oriented retail district. Plans include new streetscape architecture and landscaping to be developed in a manner that will further encourage the use of markets, cafes, and the specialty retail stores that already call Mariner's Mile home.
Next time you're in Newport Beach, be sure to stroll through Mariner's Mile on your way to the beaches. You're sure to find something that will interest you in this well appointed shopping district.
