ui127 I often ride the Newport Back Bay, always in the clockwise direction, except in the winter when it is too wet and sandy. But I did not even know there was a trail on the west side of the bay! I continue from the Mountain to the Sea Trail onto Back Bay Dr., across the entrance into Newport Dunes area, turn right onto the cut between the cliffs on the left and the fence of the mobile home park on the right, which ends at N. Bayside Dr. I turn left onto N. Bayside Dr., then right onto PCH, go over the bridge, right onto Dover Dr, then right onto Irvine Avenue until I reach the Bayview Trail, which I ride until it ends across Jamboree from Fletcher Jones Mercedes Benz, from which I can get back onto the Mountains to the Sea Trail.
