Balboa Community
A Newport Beach Community
Forming a neighborhood in Newport Beach, Balboa consists of Balboa Island and the Balboa Peninsula. It is located in Orange County within the State of California. Balboa is comprised of a peninsula and three islands, partially man made, partially natural, and it forms a major part of Newport Harbor. Access to Balboa Island is gained via a two-lane bridge found at the northeast corner of Balboa Island and also by a car ferry which operates every few minutes between Balboa Island and the Balboa Peninsula. Access to Balboa Peninsula is via Balboa Boulevard.Initially Balboa Island was not easily accessible, the harbor itself was mainly un-dredged and using a small boat was the only way to travel to and from the island. It wasn’t until 1870, when Captain Samuel S. Dunnels arrived aboard the steamer Vaquero that work began toward creating the exceptional harbor facilities we see in the Balboa community of Newport Beach today.If you are relocating to Newport Beach and need to find schools for your children, find a list of Newport Beach schools including public schools and private schools.

Balboa Recreation & Entertainment in Newport BeachBalboa Fun Zone There are some great recreational facilities to be found within the area of Balboa, including the Balboa Fun Zone. This excellent amusement park markets itself as “Fun at the Beach”, and that is exactly what it supplies. With a range of traditional rides such as a Ferris wheel and a carousel, and offering more extreme excitement in the form of bungee jumping, it is a fairly diverse place. It also has a full host of restaurant and shopping facilities as well as some excellent sports fishing.Newport Harbor Nautical MuseumThe popular Newport Harbor Nautical Museum is another great family venue. It combines a mixture of historical exhibits, fun family activities and special events to provide a great day out for the whole family. Boats, Restaurants, & Balboa EventsThere are harbor rides available in a fleet of fun boats, along with some excellent dining at the Bluewater Grill. Each year the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade takes place. Millions of viewers watch a stunning array of elaborately decorated yachts, kayaks, canoes, fishing boats or just about anything that can float takes to the water in this Christmas extravaganza.There really cannot be many places in the world like Balboa. It offers a very different way of life from traditional suburban living. The small community atmosphere, which manages to cling to family values, has more in common with a village of the last century than a modern city. Despite this charming feature, every amenity required to live an active and modern lifestyle is available, along with some exceptional schooling options in Newport Beach. Balboa is really something special and makes a wonderful choice for those wishing to relocate to Orange County.
