Newport Harbor Concessions Safety Video

The Newport Beach Harbor Department is excited to present this three-minute safety video about Newport Harbor.

The primary audience for the video is people renting small and manually powered vessels on the harbor, although it has information valuable to anyone operating a vessel on the harbor.

The central messages in the video include:

  • Requirements for Personal Floatation Devices
  • Knowing the terrain of the harbor and the safest ways to enjoy it
  • Locations of public restrooms and how to find them
  • Remain aware of changing conditions including wind and currents

In the coming months, the Harbor Department hopes to produce additional videos focused on basic safety for all harbor users, the locations of public restrooms, and efforts to improve water quality and wildlife in the harbor.

Thank you, Harbormaster Paul Blank
