Balboa Marina

Balboa Marina sits right on East Coast Highway in Newport Beach, giving you easy access to one of Orange County's most iconic waterways. The marina offers slips accommodating vessels up to 75 feet, so whether you're tying up a modest boat or something more serious, they've got you covered. Newport Beach's waterfront scene is right at your doorstep — think harborside dining, the Balboa Peninsula, and some of the best coastal views in Southern California.
