Saturday is all about taking it easy with a little sport and a little sloth.
The tourist season hasn't started yet and so it's the perfect time to hike in the hills or walk on a deserted beach...so what if there is a little rain.
One of the nicest things about the Newport Coast is the trail that runs along the bluff above the ocean and it's perfect for a fast walk or slow run. Speed should be discouraged because if you go too fast you won't be able to appreciated the vista of the ocean and Catalina Island in the distance.
Shorts and a sweater are perfect.
The Beach TrailAfter all the exercise it would be perfect to relax in something comfortable from juicy with a good book in front of the fire at your villa.
