Fall Season in the Newport Beach Area

In Newport Beach, while there are not many trees which have the changing of the colors, you can definitely notice the change in seasons in many ways. One way is that the sun is in a different position in the sky, and therefore the sunsets are different. In this picture, the sun is setting right over Catalina Island, and this photograph was taken from a home in Cameo Shores in Corona del Mar.

Also, in certain areas, such as Newport Shores in Newport Beach, the wild life is different. During spring and summer months, Newport Shores has blue and white Herons, ducks, seagulls and sand pipers just to name a few. During the fall, not only are those birds evident, but a beautiful white swan Swancomes for a visit. In prior years there have been two swans, but now only one comes back. Occasionally, I have seen swans in Newport Harbor. Also, during the fall and winter months in Newport Shores, the Pelicans will come and visit as well.

 

In Newport Beach, the temperature is of course cooler, but not cold as in other parts of the country.

  

Fall in Southern California has typically clear weather, however off shore winds also call the Santa Ana windscan be prevalent. This is view from a home in Crystal Cove with a view of Palos Verdes in the distance.  crystal coveCrystal Cove is has panoramic sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and as far north as Long Beach and Palos Verdes.  

One downside of the Santa Ana winds is that the humidity drops very low, and the weather is very dry. This creates incredible fire danger in Southern California which has been going on here for the past several days.

 

Corona del Mar (which literally means Crown of the Sea) is a community of Newport Beach. Some of the areas include Cameo Shores beaches, and these photos were taken on a cool Fall morning while exploring the beach at Cameo Shores. The sea life is so beautiful.

The beaches at Cameo Shores are stunning with incredible sea life. It is a beautiful place to explore. This photo looks cameo shores beachlike a window on the world - a climb through. Here is another one in the distance the waves crash through.

This photo is a view of Newport Harbor looking out towards the jetty - it is very quiet with few boats out that day.

This is a view in Corona del Mar, and the water is incredibly clear as you can see the kelp in the water. There are a few boats anchored in the distance, but overall it is a pretty quiet boating day.corona del mar

Debe - thanks for the nice comment. I do love the changing of the colors in other areas, but fall is definitely evident here. With regards to the humidity and fires, they are scary and it is so sad the people that lost their homes. Even today there is so much smoke and particulate in the air.

Kat - thanks for commenting. I am sad for the swan as well asI am in agreement that they mate for life. It has been different, the first year she (or he) came back she was alone. Then the next year there were two. The last couple of visits there has only been one swan. I do worry about them because there are predators that live in the area (coyotes). We used to have a flock of geese, and now they are all gone - so sad.

Kim - thanks so much for the nice compliment. Fall in Newport is different than fall in other areas, the differences are subtle, but they are there.

Sharon, great photos and info on the Newport CA area. I couldn't help but remember Cabo when I saw the circular "climb through" in the rocks. Newport is certainly a beautiful area.

Gena - you are right - I didn't even think that it kind of looks like /cabo (I think I have seen the same rock formation there). The one in Cameo Shores is not that tall - maybe about 4 and a half feet high, but the present is what is on the other side!! The tide pools and spectacular views.
