Balboa Peninsula
The
Balboa Peninsula is the part of
Newport Beach, California people from outside the area probably think about most often when they see the words "Newport Beach." About three miles long, it is home to most of Newport's population. English speakers have lived here at least since the
American Civil War. 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.
