Castaways Park

Fred Ford

Lower Castaways park is a popular small canoe, kayak and paddle board launch site. There is bay beach access that continues beyond the park around the back of the bay to a point. Upper Castaways park is accessed by a different entrance on top of the bluff. It has nature trails and great views of the bay. Booth interesting places to visit with nice bay and skyline views of Newport Beach.

This is a small, yet glorious, place to walk when you need to "get out and go somewhere and breathe fresh air'. It's located high up at the southern tip of a bluff that provides outstanding views ranging from Balboa harbor to the natural beauty of upper Newport Bay. The park provides interesting plantings of native, drought tolerant vegetation, which, in my opinion, could be better maintained. Some interpretive signage is provided. There are paved walkways, a few benches and not much shade. WARNING---no restrooms. An option is a long, well maintained path that heads inland along the top of the bluff in front of some beautiful homes.

Very beautiful spot, I walk there daily and enjoy praying at my secret spot and watching the low tides.

One of my favorite little spots to go to in Orange County. View of the water, peaceful and a nice little walk. This park is small, but it offers serenity and endless beauty. I only stumbled across this because I did the Back Bay 10 mile loop. I am so glad I did.
