Newport Bay Naturalists & Friends is pleased to support Orange
County Parks at the Peter
& Mary Muth Interpretive Center (link to County website).
This 10,000 square foot educational facility has been built into the
side of one of the bluffs on the north side of the Bay. It offers
panoramic views of the Bay yet is nestled so unobtrusively that few
people are aware that the Interpretive Center is there and is open
to the public. Directions. Find out about
Program and Events at the Interpretive
Center.
The center provides a focal point for the public's enjoyment of the
Bay. Here young and old alike can take a journey through a series of
exhibits and interactive displays that make the Bay come alive.
Visitors learn about life in and around an estuary and why Upper
Newport Bay is such an important estuary. The knowledge and
understanding gained here will give people an even greater
appreciation of the Bay when they take guided walking and water
tours or explore the Bay on their own. For opening hours and other
information, call (949) 923-2290.
