Parking Information:
On July 5, 2024, Newport Dunes’ Independence Day on the Bay celebration is $100 pre-paid reserved parking in our main paved lot (located off Jamboree & Back Bay Drive).
Day-of parking will also be available for $50 in a further, unpaved lot (enter off Bayside Drive & Pacific Coast Highway). This lot is about a 5 to 10-minute walk to the beach area. Day-of parking is on a first-come, first-served basis and fills up quickly. We recommend arriving early.
Important Information:
Please remember this important information:
- Gates open at 8:00 am
- No barbeques or grills are allowed on the public beach
- Pets are better off left at home. Fireworks are so loud and scary for pets.
- All pop-ups, umbrellas, and other shade structures must be removed before the fireworks start. This is a requirement from the fire department. Don’t hold up the show!
- The pedestrian bridge is closed during the fireworks.
Join us for Tunes at the Dunes during summer holiday weekends!
