The Ultimate Walking Tour of Balboa Island in Newport Beach
Join me and Newport Beach expert Rob for the ultimate walking tour of Balboa Island, one of Orange County's most charming walkable neighborhoods! In this video, we are showing you the best things to see, do, and eat, from strolling the scenic 1.7-mile Bayfront and admiring the incredible harbor-front homes to diving into the famous local frozen banana rivalry between Dad's and Sugar 'n Spice. Along the way, we grab some delicious fish tacos at Toto Santos, watch the iconic Balboa Island Auto Ferry in action, and even hop in a golf cart to cruise over the bridge to explore Little Balboa Island. ✅ Watch our tour of the $6M Balboa Island house: https://youtu.be/xfk6Ql_FjbE ✅ Or check out more from Rob's channel here: @TheNewportBeachLife TABLE OF CONTENTS: 0:00 - Welcome to Balboa Island 0:40 - Crossing the Bridge & Harbor Views 2:22 - Exploring Main Street (Marine Ave) 3:20 - Bayfront Walkway & Boat Docks 5:45 - Dad's Donut & Bakery (Frozen Banana Rivalry) 7:48 - Sugar 'n Spice & Everything Nice 11:00 - Old-Time Balboa Candy Shop 15:20 - Balboa Island Museum & Historic Post Office 17:10 - The Village Inn & Golf Cart Culture 19:45 - How Much Do Balboa Island Homes Cost? 25:50 - Christmas Boat Parade & Public Docks 29:30 - Fun House Decorations & Trick-or-Treating 32:00 - The Best Places to Park on Balboa Island 34:30 - Cruising in Duffy Boats 43:20 - The Balboa Island Auto Ferry 49:40 - Classic Retro Laundromat (Island Wash) 51:40 - Once Upon an Island (Mermaid Dress-Up) 53:40 - Lunch at Toto Santos 56:30 - Golf Cart Ride to Little Balboa Island 1:01:40 - Exploring Little Balboa Island & The Grand Canal 💡 Yellow Productions on Social Media: FACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/YellowProductionsTravel INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/yellowwproductions/ TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@yellowproductionstravel X: https://x.com/chrisraney 💡 Meet the Yellow Productions Team: OCgirl (behind the camera): https://www.instagram.com/ocgirl.notebook/ Yusaku (in the editing studio): https://www.instagram.com/yusaku_otagiri/ The Princess (in the playground): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_KMPZF0v8pGR6ZN8QToJXg 🔔 BUSINESS INQUIRIES: chris@yellow-productions.com 😀 Yellow Productions Merchandise: https://shop.yellow-productions.com/ 📢 Check out my blog: http://yelloww.net 🚀 My travel video gear: Main Camera: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo - https://amzn.to/3H5MjL3 2nd Camera: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra - https://amzn.to/3Ryq1ds Microphone: DJI Mic 3 - https://amzn.to/3JUvcQT 🎵 We use music from Epidemic Sound: https://yelloww.co/epidemic
