About Balboa Island

Balboa Island in Newport Beach is a compact, walkable neighborhood known for its boating culture and beach access. The island features private docks and is near the Balboa Yacht Basin and Newport Beach Yacht Club. Newport Bay, to the south, offers opportunities for deep-sea fishing and diving. Public beaches encircle the island, allowing for swimming and fishing, though they are narrow and have specific hours for dogs. A ferry ride south leads to Balboa Peninsula, home to the Balboa Pier, Newport Beach Pier, and the Balboa Fun Zone, a popular carnival area. Marine Avenue, the island’s commercial hub, is lined with shops, restaurants, and the famous frozen banana stands, Dad’s and Sugar 'n Spice. The Balboa Island Museum and local boutiques add to the charm. Events like the Balboa Island Community Garage Sale and Concert in the Park bring residents together. While there are no schools on the island, Lincoln Elementary and Corona Del Mar Middle and High School, both highly rated, are about 2 miles away on the mainland. The island's homes, ranging from 1920s cottages to modern builds, feature multiple stories, large patios, and bright colors, reflecting a quintessential beach vibe. Despite the high property prices, the median sale price is lower than neighboring areas. The island is accessible via a ferry to Balboa Peninsula or a bridge to the Pacific Coast Highway, though traffic can be heavy, especially in summer.
