A tongue-in-cheek clip shot on the sand in Newport Beach had two young men laying down the rules for out-of-towners, and it set off more than 4,000 comments.
Newport Beach has new gatekeepers, at least according to two young men by the sand. In a clip Juice Unlocked posted March 22, 2026, the pair tell anyone heading to Newport that they need to check in first.
The on-screen headline puts it bluntly: "White boys say you have to check in before coming to Newport Beach." The caption plays along, calling them Newport Beach "shot callers" who "DEMAND check ins before touching down in their city."
What they said
"Hey, we in Newport right now," one of them opens. The message from there is simple: "If you ain't check in, come check in."
They repeat it a few times, add that "we stay up there," and sign off with a "See y'all" and a "Say what's up."
“If you ain't check in, come check in.”
The reaction
The post drew more than 7,500 likes and over 4,100 comments on Instagram. Juice Unlocked put the question to its followers: are you checking in, or taking your chances?
“Y'all gotta come check in. We stay up there.”
