Shopping
Balboa Island is an iconic piece of Newport Beach and if you're in town, you should head over to Marine Ave. You can take the ferry from the fun zone and follow the boardwalk down or drive. There are tons of family owned shops, restaurants and markets. There is even a candy shop for the kids. It's pricey but you don't have to shop, just walk around, it's neat.
