Surrounded by the calm waters of Newport Harbor, Balboa Island offers one of the city’s most charming and timeless coastal experiences. This beloved island neighborhood is known for its peaceful bayfront setting, walkable village atmosphere, and quiet residential streets lined with colorful cottages and classic coastal character. It's an ideal setting for a slower-paced Newport Beach stay with easy access to both harbor and beach adventures.
Spend the day strolling the waterfront boardwalk that circles the island, watching sailboats and yachts drift through the harbor, browsing the boutiques and cafés of Marine Avenue, or enjoying one of the island’s famous frozen treats. The Balboa Island Ferry carries cars, bikes, and pedestrians across the harbor to the Balboa Peninsula, where Balboa Village, the Balboa Fun Zone, Balboa Pier, and miles of sandy shoreline await. Fashion Island is also just a short drive away for additional shopping and dining.
