The Balboa Peninsula is a small stretch of land with homes located halfway between the Pacific Ocean & the Newport Bay with stunning bay-front & beach front homes. Ā Balboa Peninsula real estate is highly desirable due to the proximity of the beach and bay, and it offers the ultimate beach lifestyle.
Visitors and residents alike enjoy the Balboa Peninsula and the life style. The Peninsula is home to the world famous Wedge, which is known for it’s seasonal high surf. During those times, it is recommended that only the very experienced go in the water.
The Ā also is home to Newport Elementary School which is the only school on the beach. The playground is literally in front of the beach. The students and teachers can hear the waves crashing, it is an amazing environment. Newport El is known as the “Best on the Beach”.
There are two piers located on the Peninsula, the Newport Beach Pier and the Balboa Pier. Both offer areas of shopping and dining. One of my favorite restaurants in Newport Beach is Oceanfront 21 located at the Newport Beach pier and offers incredible views of the Ocean, and a great place to have an appetizer and watch the sun set.
Other favorites on the Peninsula include Avila’s El Ranchito – great Mexican food, and a local market Lombardy’s which has a great selection of wine, and makes fantastic sandwiches.
The Balboa Pier has a fun zone and ferris wheel which can provide a very scenic view of Newport Harbor. Also, located in this area in the Balboa Island Ferry, which is a short ride across the harbor to Balboa Island.
