The beach at Newport Beach’s Balboa Pier is a popular place with many nice amenities nearby. The pier is open to fishing, however most visitors will just want to walk out on it for a view back toward the peninsula or to look down onto the surfers enjoying the break here. There is a restaurant at the end of Balboa Pier and others nearby the intersection of Balboa Boulevard and Main Street. On the north side of the Balboa Pier is a large fee parking lot with an entrance at Palm Street. This lot fills up and street parking is difficult so get hre early. Peninsula Park is a few steps away south of the pier with grass to relax on or toss a Frisbee on. South of the park is an open area of dunes and a long sandy beach known as Balboa Peninsula Beach. The Newport-Balboa Bike Trail is a paved path that runs in both directions from the pier for runners, bikers, and skaters. It’s a little less than a 2-mile walk or bike ride north to the Newport Beach Pier.
