Balboa Island Travel Guide | Newport Beach | California Travel Tips
California travel guide Veronica Hill shares a tour of Balboa Island, Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach in this episode of California Travel Tips.
This charming little island, located in the city of Newport Beach, is a Cape Cod-style community with more than 70 unique gift shops, galleries and restaurants.
Best seen by foot, Balboa Island's streets (view map) offer stunning views of multi-million-dollar homes, the bay and harbor.
On Marine Avenue, the island's main street, you'll find several wonderful cafes, including Amelia's Ristorante (949-673-6580), Wilma's Patio (949-675-5542) and The Village Inn (127 Marine Avenue, Balboa Island; 949-675-8300). Hershey's Market (200 Marine Ave., Balboa Island; 949- 673-0330) has been a staple since 1929.
Though it was once home to Western legend John Wayne and his beloved Wild Goose, Balboa's main claim to fame is its famous Balboa Bars and frozen bananas, invented here around 1945. These cool concoctions are dipped in chocolate and then smothered in crushed peanuts or chocolate sprinkles. Try them at Sugar & Spice (310 Marine Avenue; 949-673-8907), which has autographs of The OC cast members posted on its window.
Tip: Balboa Island is accessible by ferry from Palm Street at Balboa Peninsula, and by car from Jamboree Road at Pacific Coast Highway. From the island, catch the ferry back to Newport Beach at Agate Avenue.

Balboa Island Travel Guide | Newport Beach | California Travel Tips
California travel expert Veronica Hill shares her Balboa Island Travel Guide in this episode of California Travel Tips.
Home to the famous Balboa Bar and Balboa Fun Zone, Balboa Island in Newport Beach is a great place for a California holiday or day trip.
The Balboa Fun Zone coastal amusement park, located in Newport Beach, is one of Southern California's oldest, dating back to 1936.
During your Balboa Island vacation, you'll find a ton of things to do, from a great Ferris wheel and festive merry-go-round to the Kids at Heart bungee jumper. In the Bay Arcade, you can play a round of air hockey or skee ball.
For some great salt-water taffy, try the nostalgic Balboa Candy, or grab a gooey slice of New York pizza at Pizza Pete's, a favorite hangout since 1946.
Balboa Pavilion dates back to 1906. Today, it's a popular marine recreation center.
This is the place to pick up a whale watching cruise, go on a sportfishing tour from Davey's Locker, or take a morning ride to Catalina Island aboard the Catalina Flyer. Tours depart daily at 9 a.m. and return to Balboa Pavilion at 5:45 p.m.
The Fun Zone Boat Company offers hourly celebrity home tours through Newport Bay, or you can charter your own little duffy boat through Balboa Boat Rentals.
Balboa Pier is home to the very first Ruby's Diner, which opened in 1982. This is a great spot to chow down on crisp fish and chips or kobe beef sliders while enjoying gorgeous views of the Pacific. Of course, the milk shakes are great too!
Balboa Island, accessible by ferry from Balboa Peninsula or across the bridge from PCH near Newport Beach Fashion Island, is a quaint seaside community filled with dozens of fun boutiques.
While you're in town, take the time to sample some Balboa Island restaurants along Marine Avenue. A few good recommendations include Amelia's Ristorante, Wilma's Patio and The Village Inn. To pack your own lunch, visit Hershey's Market — a staple since 1929.
But its main claim to fame is the Balboa bar and frozen chocolate banana, invented around 1945. Practically every little snack shop sells these cool confections, but one of the most renowned is Sugar & Spice, which has the autographs of The OC cast members posted on its window.
