The 'Balboa Peninsula' is located in
Newport Beach, California. It is also referred to as "
Balboa, California." About three miles long, it is home to some of Newport Beach's most recognizable landmarks. Traditionally, the Peninsula consists of all the contiguous land east of 45th Street. Most of the business is concentrated along Balboa Boulevard where it meets
Pacific Coast Highway, McFadden Place, and Main Street. "The peninsula", as it is referred to colloquially, acts like an arm enclosing the
Newport Harbor and its islands.
The residential community at the very tip of the peninsula (suitable named "The Balboa Peninsula Point") is home to some of the most beautiful and expensive bay front and oceanfront homes in Newport Beach, as well as the famous surfing spot "The Wedge".
