My impression of Balboa Island was there were a lot of mom and pop shops, especially one antique jewelry store. There are plenty of places to rent bikes once you cross the ferry, which is only $1/person if you walk across. Parking and driving is difficult. I took a hotel shuttle and then Ubered. I'd say biking is more for sight seeing the island rather than shopping. Very nice beaches. I would walk from shop to shop, there are people everywhere, it's pretty crowded.
I would like to know where is the boardwalk located , say from the area where the pier is? Could you tell me if E. Oceanfront is the boardwalk to be able to walk and see the shops? There a few years back, walked the pier, saw the fun zone, boat ride for whale watch, saw no whales, never got to the boardwalk, need to know, want to go back with daughter this time. (went with husband last time ) Any info appreciated

Just put Balboa Post Office in Google map, it will lead you to the boardwalk where all the shops locate... Easy to drive !!
I'm spending a night by myself in Newport Beach. I'd like to have dinner with a beer or glass of wine in a place that has a great ocean view. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

The bar - restaurant with ocean view at Balboa Resort is nice too

Newport Beach itself does have few with great ocean views. However for a truly spectacular view, Las Brisas, in Laguna Beach is the Orange County Rivera. A patio overlooking main beach to the left and the park to the right. On the top of a bluff, this is a remarkable place. About 15 minutes by car from Newport to the South along the Pacific Coast Highway. In Newport Beach, most restaurants have views of the harbor. Property along The Pacific Ocean is mostly residential. The Cannery, Bluewater Grill, The Winery, all have good views of the Newport Bay and sailboats. For a single gentleman looking for some female companionship, Sol is good. But good looks equate to having work done. AKA plastic surgery. Newport Coast offers 2 on the bluff, on inland side of the Pacific Coast Highway, Mastero’s Beach Club and Javier’s. Both are places I know only by reputation. Best, in your search, enjoy your stay.
