SUPPORT SNUG HARBOR WAVE PARK

Surfing isn’t just a pastime in Newport Beach — it’s part of who we are. From The Wedge to 56th Street, our surf culture has shaped generations and put Newport on the map. Now, the proposed Snug Harbor Wave Park gives us the chance to celebrate that legacy and strengthen it for the future.

The project transforms underused land into a destination that honors Newport’s roots — built around surfing, community, and the coastal lifestyle that defines us.

WHY THIS MATTERS

A True Reflection of Our Culture.
The Snug Harbor Wave Park isn’t about replacing the ocean — it’s about celebrating it. This project brings world-class wave technology to Newport while keeping the focus on local access, sustainability, and community engagement.

Responsible, Local Innovation.
This isn’t a corporate theme park. It’s a carefully designed facility that fits the Newport spirit — blending recreation, hospitality, and respect for our coastline.

Community Benefits.
Snug Harbor will create local jobs, attract surf events, and expand year-round opportunities for recreation and training. It’s a chance to make Newport a global model for coastal innovation while staying true to our roots.

Keeping Our Surf Culture Alive.
Newport was built by those who lived by the tide. Supporting the Snug Harbor Wave Park means ensuring that the next generation can share in that same tradition — safely, sustainably, and locally.
