Balboa Pier In Newport Beach
By fthomas | November 25, 2008
A pier can be one of the most romantic places to
go in the world. If you doubt that, take a trip to
the Balboa Pier in Newport Beach and you’ll see
first hand just how great a pier can be. On any
given summer night, this pier is enveloped in
darkness by 10 PM.
While the average fisherman heads home when the
pier is dark, life continues. All along the pier,
darkness does nothing but add to the atmosphere.
Towards the end of the pier, you can see the neon
lights of Ruby’s Diner lighting up the sky, calling
out to those on the pier.
Walking along the pier you can see many different
lights illuminating the sky. The Balboa Pavilion can
be seen as well, adding to the already magical time
that the lights help to add to the pier.
In many ways, the Balboa Pavilion is a sister attraction
to the pier. They were both built in 1906 and designed
to attract people to the Newport area. Even in those
times, the pier and the pavilion helped to bring
travelers to the area.
Down the peninsula from the pier, the area has a
feeling that rivals days gone by. For fishermen and
those that enjoy fishing, the Balboa Pier is simply
heaven on earth.
Looking to the south of the pier, you’ll see the Newport
Jetty and the bay entrance. Main Street is right
around the corner, adding a wealth of things to do to
the pier.
Even though some consider fishing to be secondary on
the pier, it gives fisherman that are there more room
to fish. For many residents of the area, the pier is
where they began their life of fishing.
When standing on at the end looking down the Balboa
Pier you’ll probably be amazed. The 920 foot pier is
simply incredible to look at. Walking down it is
great any time of year, especially at night when
taking a moonlit stroll. For honeymooners or married
couples, the pier beckons out for romance.
The Balboa Pier is open from 5 AM until midnight. There
are restrooms located near the entrance, with lights
and fish cleaning stations located on the pier. At
the end of the pier, there is even a small restaurant.
Located in the city of Newport Beach, the Balboa Pier
is a must visit for anyone who loves fishing. Even if
you don’t like fishing, the pier is great to walk at
night or during the day. If you want to see what piers
are all about, make sure you check out the beauty and
splendor that the Balboa Pier will provide you with.

The Wedge
By fthomas | November 14, 2008
If you like to surf or hit the waves, the infamous
"Wedge" in Newport Beach is something you have to
experience at least once in your lifetime. Although
The Wedge isn't classified as a wave, it's actually
a 20 foot plus battering ram that was created by
sheer intelligence.
The way it heaves, throws, and bends behaves in ways
other waves can't begin to comprehend. If you look
at it up close, you'll notice that The Wedge is a
combination of two waves that join together, resulting
in a massive slingshot that is capable of sending
anyone flying.
The Wedge takes a swell, but only for a few moments,
retracting the swell energy from the jetty then
smashing on the beach. Though it may look like a
"humping effect", as the locals call it, the feel
and look of it must be seen to be believed.
For many years, The Wedge in Newport Beach has proven
to be the best place in the world for surfing. Over
the years, professional body boarders have headed
here as well, to test their skill and experience
with the one thing that's very hard to top.
Deadly at all tides, the best time to show up at
The Wedge is in the morning or late afternoon, as
this is when the tide is at it's best. With sizes
reaching between 6 and 20+ feet, you have to be on
your toes before you even attempt to tame it.
If you plan to go surfing or body boarding here, you
should also bring your camera, beach chair, swim fins,
goggles, and insurance card! It's always best to be
prepared, which makes the insurance card great to
have - especially when you consider just how powerful
The Wedge truly is.
The best time to visit The Wedge is the summer, as
winter may be a bit cold. As a beginner, The Wedge
may be a bit too difficult. If you have experience,
you may even find it to be a bit psychotic. At any
rate, it's a challenge you won't soon forget.
Nearby, you have many places to eat, such as the
Quick Fix and Worth The Wait. There are also several
places to stay as well, along with places to shop and
enjoy yourself.
From surfing to sheer fun watching The Wedge pummel
surfers, Newport Beach offers you everything you need
to have an excellent stay. If you enjoy surfing, you
simply must visit The Wedge at least once and see
if you have what it takes.

services and amenities, and superb dining, Pelican
Hill Golf Course provides one of the best experiences
of golf and after golf.

ranked among the top golf courses in the entire Newport
Beach area. The South Course offers breathtaking ocean
views, pine trees, manicured fairways, and a nice
soaring eucalyptus.

submerged by strategically placed bunkers. The design
of the course here included rolling terrain, canyon
crossing tee shots, and holes that border the cliffs
of the California coast.
Both courses are very set in their unique designs, using
the terrain and topology to golf players challenges
they simply won't find elsewhere. While many golf courses
use the field to add to the playing experience, Pelican
Hill uses many different tools. The result is a game
of golf that will leave you wanting more.

It's no secret that finding a honeymoon location or

around the Beach is romantic, with romance budding at
each and every turn.
On a hot day, walking hand in hand down Marine Avenue
on Balboa Island is enriching. You and your mate can
check out the sites and talk about things. Then, you
can head over to Balboa Fun Zone and play games together,
enjoying the best life has to offer. To show her that
you care, you can even win her a stuffed animal - one
thing that all females seem to love!
On the harbor of Newport Beach, a romantic gondola ride
remains one of the most romantic things to do. A gondola
ride is great to relax, sitting back with one and another
and enjoying the best of the beach. Sometimes, nothing
beats just enjoying the presence of one another and
taking in some of the best sites that vision has to offer.
Once night begins to set in, nothing is more romantic
than a trip to the Bayside Restaurant or the Aubergine,
two of the most romantic restaurants in Orange County.
Both you and your partner will enjoy the setting here, as
well as the food.
After you have enjoyed a romantic dinner, you can watch
the sun rise on the beach. Both sunrise and sunset is
breathtaking at Newport Beach, something each and every
couple should experience at least once in a lifetime.
Before you call it a trip, you should also make sure to
get pampered at a local spa. The spa's around Newport
Beach are exhiarating, something your whole body will
find superb. As a couple or a separate trip, a relaxing
day at the spa is very hard to rival.
When it comes to a honeymoon or a trip as a couple,
Newport Beach is one location you'll remember the rest of
your lives. There is so much to do here as a couple,
you'll probably want to come back again and again. As
time goes by and you get older, you'll find that Newport
Beach is the perfect place to come back to - no matter
where the road of life takes you.
