Blackies in Newport Beach, California
Museum-quality art print inspired by vintage National Parks posters. Available in 6 sizes, framed or unframed.
Blackies is a consistently fun stretch of beach break sitting between Newport Pier & 28th Street. The spot gets its name from the historic bar, Blackie's By The Sea, which has been there since the early '50s. In the '60s, the beach became a hub for longboarding in Southern California. Depending on the conditions and the time of year, there are plenty of waves to be found that are not only suited for some prime logging, but everything else in between. It's one of those California spots that can feel like magic when the ocean turns glass and the sky turns pink.
This print brings the soul of Blackies in Newport Beach to your home. Captured in the timeless style of 1930s National Parks posters created by WPA artists.
This print is part of the WAVE ARCADE WPA National Parks Surf Series. This is an original series of new vintage-inspired artwork that celebrates our favorite surf spots and beaches the same way WPA-era artists once celebrated America's National Parks.
Same iconic styles re-imagined for your favorite beaches.
