If you were fortunate enough to grow up in Newport Beach, you probably didn’t realize just how lucky you were until you left for college. Here’s just a few of the things unique to Newport Beach, California and reasons why you should consider yourself #blessed!

1.) Ideal Weather

Surprisingly, it’s not always 75 degrees Fahrenheit year round other places. If it gets in the 50’s, don’t complain unless you want to get a good slapping from a friend who’s used to cold weather. The good thing is, everyone will want to come visit you year round!

2.) Casual Dress

Who knew “No shoes, no shirt, no service” was actually a thing?

3.) Unique Slang

When someone from out of town says “He’s so sick”, they actually mean he’s under the weather, not “He’s so cool”.

4.) Healthy Eating Options Everywhere

Acai Bowls, True Foods, Sushi and other healthy options around every corner.

5.) Best Summer Days for All Ages

Jr. Lifeguards, swim team, and going to the beach every other day just doesn’t make sense to people.

6.) How Small the Town Actually Is

Have you ever gone to Bearflag and not run into a friend?

7.) The Beautiful Landscape

Driving to your friend’s house on Pacific Coast Highway isn’t exactly the same scenery you’ll likely be seeing anywhere else.

If you grew up in Newport Beach, these are just some of the few things you’ve most likely grown accustomed to. These things unique to Newport Beach most likely will not be found anywhere else in the country, if not the world. So if you did happen to grow up in Newport Beach, say your prayers and count your blessings, because honey, this is not reality for the majority of people.
