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.

From basking on the sandy yet pristine beaches to
exploring the Fun Zone areas, you’ll quickly find that
there’s always something to do here.  You can go out
on the Balboa Pier as well, which was built in 1912 as
a way to go from Balboa to Catalina Island. The pier is
also one of the few to survive the well known yet
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
plenty of things to see in the area as well, making the
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.

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”.
