Nice photos, I haven't been to Balboa Island in a long time. It's sad because it's only 30 minutes from me.

That's the area where I grew up. I worked in a small fishing store(http://jdsbiggame.com/) throughout high school on Balboa Island, right across the harbor from the Balboa Pavillion that you have several photos of.

I don't think I've ever been to Balboa Island, and don't make it up to Orange County very often. Thanks for these pics.

Great weather, yet I have spent so much time in OR that the sun hasn't been too kind to me down here.

Beautiful place to spend holidays, or to live in.

Thanks for the pics.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

I know what you mean, I got red & crispy pretty fast on the first day wakling around Santa Monica ... the 75 degree, breezy weather is deceptive!

I spent way too much time on the beach between Balboa and Newport piers when I should've been studying in college. Thanks for the trip down memory lane
