True to its name, the Inspiration Point is a lookout point that has the best views of the ocean and the pier in Newport Beach. The area has benches that face the open pacific ocean and with the green grass to pamper your feet, the place has become one of the most understated yet gorgeous places around the city. A small stairway leads you down to the beach from the edge of the cliff where the lookout point is while the viewpoint itself is apt for having a picnic, taking a stroll, clicking photographs or simply for having a seat on one of the benches to admire the view of the coast. You can also spot luxury homes lining the beach, a beautiful pier and tall palm trees that complete the scene.

Sunsets bask the whole place into its warm light and after dark this point becomes rather tranquil and romantic with very few people around. With its landscape, the inspiration point does leave you feeling rather inspired and at ease!
