Holiday In Beach

Throughout the vast state of California, Newport Beach
remains one of the most overlooked cities.  The city
of Newport Beach is actually a very charming island,
with great beaches and a peninsula.  With all of it’s
charms, it remains overlooked by tourists and those
looking for an ideal vacation spot.

Lying cradled within the Balboa Peninsula, the seven
islands that make up Newport Beach happen to have some
of the most expensive real estate in California.  Many
of the homes here are 1.5 million and up!  When you
consider that many are surrounded by small yacht harbors
and a peaceful yet tranquil environment, you know the
price of the homes are more than well worth it.

If you live in California, you can find Newport Beach just
off Pacific Coast Highway in beautiful Orange County.  Simply
take CA 55 south from I-5 to Newport Blvd.  Or, you can
also take CA 1 at Newport Blvd. After a short travel, the
Newport Blvd. will turn into Balboa Blvd. and eventually
take you down the middle of the island.

Whether you live in California or just outside of it,
Newport Beach is one place you should visit.  Once you
visit this overlooked treasure, you’ll probably find yourself
wondering why you didn’t visit sooner.  Take our word
for it – Newport Beach is simply “that good”.

Being one of the pristine beaches in Newport Beach,
Balboa Beach is found on the Balboa peninsula.  The
beach faces the Pacific Ocean, and is actually
just a few blocks from the well known Balboa Fun
Zone and the yacht harbor.

In the summer, the beach is very popular for swimming
lessons.  Balboa Beach is also well known for a 920
foot pier that was voted to be the best throughout
Orange County.  The beach is also well known for it’s
no entrance fee.  Although there is a parking fee,
the free admission more than makes up for it.

Along Balboa Beach you’ll find a bike path and even
places for bonfires.  Surfing is also welcomed here,
although it’s banned from 11 AM to 6 PM in the
summer months.  Bodyboarding is also great here,
along with swimming.  During the summer, there is a
lifeguard on duty during the hours of daylight.

With plenty of sand and warm sun here, Balboa
Beach is one of the superb beaches in the Newport
Beach area.  If you visit Newport Beach in the
summer, make sure you drop by Balboa Beach and see
just how good life can be.
