Fun Facts

Built in 1888, McFadden Wharf served as a crucial shipping point for lumber and other goods, playing a significant role in the economic development of Newport Beach.

The wharf was named after James and Robert McFadden, brothers who were instrumental in establishing the wharf and the surrounding area as a commercial center.

The original McFadden Wharf structure is now integrated into the Newport Beach Pier, a popular spot for fishing and sightseeing.

In the early 20th century, McFadden Wharf was a key location for the local fishing industry, contributing to the area's maritime heritage.

The original wharf was destroyed by a storm in 1939 and subsequently rebuilt, showcasing the community's resilience and dedication to preserving its historical landmarks.
