Tunes at the Dunes brings live music throughout the weekend, featuring performances by David Rosales (country, folk, blues, rock), Jimmy’s Buffet (a Jimmy Buffett tribute band), and DSB (a Journey tribute band). Guests can indulge in delicious offerings from a variety of food trucks and enjoy cocktails, beer, and wine from a fully stocked bar. Bring beach chairs and floats to enjoy the tunes from the beach or water, and dance in front of the stage.

Resort guests can enjoy a range of weekend activities, including Arts & Crafts, Spikeball, Horseshoes, Cornhole tournaments, and Family Bingo. Beach cruiser rentals offer a great way to explore the beauty of Newport Beach and its picturesque surroundings. Guests can also discover the preserved wetlands of Newport’s Back Bay at their own pace.

For those seeking the ultimate shoreside VIP experience, private beachfront cabanas are available for daily rentals to both resort guests and the public. Relax in a breezy, shaded area between dips in the calm waters of Newport Dunes’ waveless bay. Overnight guests can also enjoy poolside cabanas at the resort’s pool complex, which features heated pools and spas.
