Beautiful public Beach, private residence and garden, good for walking and running

I have been to Southern California many times, and I have been in a hurry every time. This time I have the opportunity to go to the long-awaited Balboa Island. The artificial island scenery of this Newport Beach is very suitable for day trips, especially in summer, eating, drinking and having fun can be arranged! 🚢 On the island: Balboa actually consists of two small islands, Balboa Island and Peninsula. You can drive directly to the island along Marine Ave, and then go to Agate Ave to take the ferry to Peninsula. The ferry is $1.25/person, $2.25/car 🥞🥐 You can first stroll along the main road Marine Ave when you arrive on the island. There are many exquisite shops and restaurants, just walk into a brunch, enjoy the slow life of Southern California, then buy an ice cream, eat and stroll, take a picture of the beautifully decorated house. 🏖🏝 Although Balboa's beach is not as famous as Santa Monica or Long Beach, the scenery is definitely not lost to other famous beaches. It feels like lying on it can spend a day quietly and peacefully. If you want to go to sea, you can also go to Balboa Boat Rentals rent a boat, go around the island to see that there are small rowboats on the island stand-up paddle board rent, it is a very interesting project 🍣 must eat gourmet Sugar n’ Spice famous ice cream shop, mainly frozen bananas, frozen bananas taste super like ice cream, Wrapped in chocolate sauce and nuts, it’s so cool to bite it in the hot summer. In addition, his house has tiramisu and cheesecake popsicles. It’s worth a try at San Shi Go’s exquisite Japanese restaurant. I ate dinner here. It is said that there is the best Omakase in OC. Although the space is not large, it is expensive to have fresh ingredients. If you want to try it, remember to book 🛍️ in advance. Shopping distance Balboa Island is less than 10 minutes by car. It is the most popular high-end shopping center in Southern California. It is also the most popular shopping mall for locals. Come to Newport or Erwan. This shopping mall is also a must-check, the brand is complete, the environment is beautiful, there is also a koi pond, just walk in it is very comfortable
