Today we took a trip to Balboa Island! We brought scooters and rode around the island picking up some salt water taffy along the way! Here's the scoop:
- First we parked at the beach parking at the Newport pier and walked across the street to the Balboa Island Ferry
- The Balboa Island Ferry has been running since 1919! So it's a piece of history!
- Kids 5 and under are free; Kids 5-11 are $0.50 and Adults are $1.00 each way
- After arriving at the island we walked straight ahead and ran into a little playground! It is very small but a perfect spot to stop for a water break and let the little guy stretch his legs.
- Then we walked straight across the island until we hit the walking path that goes around the island. We turned right and stumbled upon a public beach right next to a public pier!
- Balboa Candy had salt water taffies of every flavor imaginable! You could buy them individually so it made for an inexpensive and unexpected fun treat! They are only about $0.29 each!
- Then we finished our walk around the island and rode back to where we started. It was a awesome way to spend the afternoon!
Enjoy!
