City staff provided the update at the request of the council, which last September voted to increase the maximum fines and impose a speed limit of 8 mph in the stretch between 36th Street and E Street.

It’s February, which means June’s only four months away.
So, it’s just about time for Newport Beach to start preparing its newest crop of lifeguards for the summer.
Tryouts begin this weekend, albeit a little differently than in previous years due to the pandemic. The physical exam will take place Sunday and challenge about 95 lifeguard hopefuls to endure water temperatures of 55 to 60 degrees.
