Balboa Island beaches, like the island itself, are serendipitous. They are tucked amid the boat slips that fringe this diminutive Mediterranean-like enclave in Newport Harbor. Packed tight with doll-size homes and shops, Balboa Island was built by dredging early last century and has grown from mud flat to money acres. The two-tenths-square-mile haven has about 3,000 residents and is a wonderful place to walk and explore. The island is accessible by car ferry from Balboa Peninsula or the bridge of Jamboree Street on the north.
