Newport Pier

The pier replaced the McFadden Wharf (1888-1939) and the site is registered as California Historical Landmark number 794.

[2] In 1890, they connected it to the Santa Ana and Newport Railway for commercial transport into Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties.

[3] The expansion of the Los Angeles passenger railway system to the wharf in 1905 catalyzed the development of the city of Newport Beach as a tourist destination.

[3][4] In 1922, the pier was remodeled by the City of Newport and remained a shipping terminus until 1939 when it was destroyed in a hurricane.

The restaurant has an outdoor patio called the William Wright Terrace, which adds 288 square feet (26.8 m2) and can seat up to 28 with a view of the water.
