Balboa Pier In Newport Beach

A pier can be one of the most romantic places to go in the world.  If you doubt that, take a trip to the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach and you'll see  first hand just how great a pier can be.  On any given summer night, this pier is enveloped in darkness by 10 PM. While the average fisherman heads home when the  pier is dark, life continues.  All along the pie
r, darkness does nothing but add to the atmosphere. Towards the end of the pier, you can see the neon lights of Ruby's Diner lighting up the sky, calling out to those on the pier.


Walking along the pier you can see many different lights illuminating the sky.  The Balboa Pavilion can be seen as well, adding to the already magical time that the lights help to add to the pier. In many ways, the Balboa Pavilion is a sister attraction to the pier.  They were both built in 1906 and designed to attract people to the Newport area.  Even in those times, the pier and the pavilion helped to bring  travelers to the area.


Down the peninsula from the pier, the area has a  feeling that rivals days gone by.  For fishermen and those that enjoy fishing, the Balboa Pier is simply heaven on earth.  Looking to the south of the pier, you'll see the Newport Jetty and the bay entrance.  Main Street is right  around the corner, adding a wealth of things to do to the pier.   Even though some consider fishing to be secondary on  the pier, it gives fisherman that are there more room to fish.  For many residents of the area, the pier is where they began their life of fishing.


When standing on at the end looking down the Balboa  Pier you'll probably be amazed.  The 920 foot pier is simply incredible to look at.  Walking down it is  great any time of year, especially at night when  taking a moonlit stroll.  For honeymooners or married couples, the pier beckons out for romance. The Balboa Pier is open from 5 AM until midnight.  There are restrooms located near the entrance, with lights and fish cleaning stations located on the pier.  At the end of the pier, there is even a small restaurant.


Located in the city of Newport Beach, the Balboa Pier is a must visit for anyone who loves fishing.  Even if you don't like fishing, the pier is great to walk at night or during the day.  If you want to see what piers
are all about, make sure you check out the beauty and splendor that the Balboa Pier will provide you with.

Balboa Fun Zone Newport Beach



One of California's oldest and greatest coastal
amusement parks, the Balboa Fun Zone is a great
place for your entire family.  With plenty for the
entire family to do, the Fun Zone can make the
time just fly by.

Perfectly situated on the Balboa Peninsula along
Newport Beach, the Balboa Fun Zone has always
managed to rival with top amusement park giants such
as Sea World, Disneyworld, and even Belmont Park.

For more than 50 years, the Fun Zone in Newport
Beach has provided people with something to do either
day or night.  Residents of the area and those who
have visited in the past can recall the big name
bands and loud music that streamed from the infamous
Rendezvous Ballroom.

exploring the Fun Zone areas, you'll quickly find that

destructive coastal storms California endured during
the 1980's.

Those of you looking for adventure and travel would
enjoy the Catalina Flyer, which is actually one hour
to Catalina Island.  The island ferry at Balboa Island
only costs a buck or so, yet it takes you to the well
known Catalina Island. 

One of the biggest attractions here is the well known
Fun Zone ferris wheel.  Since 1936, this wheel has proved
to be a night and day landmark at the Fun Zone, calling
out to all to enjoy the fun.  If you've ever been on
a ferris wheel, you know just how much fun they can
actually be.

In 1986, the Fun Zone was rebuilt completely from the
ground up, adding to the already fun and exciting
environment here.  The ferris wheel, bumper cars, arcades,
and everything else here make the Fun Zone so much
fun for everyone who decides to pay it a visit.

After you've had experienced a few of the rides and
attractions, you can get some food at one of the many
vendors or restaurants, then enjoy a cruise on the
harbor.  Young or old, the Balboa Fun Zone in Newport
Beach can help you relieve those precious memories
from when you were a child.

If you plan to visit California and you want something
fun to do, make sure you visit the Fun Zone.  There are

Fun Zone an absolute treasure.  With no cost for
admission, the Fun Zone is one area of Newport Beach
that you don't want to pass by.
