EspañolBALBOA INN
The 'Balboa Inn', established in 1929, is located on the Balboa Peninsula (also known as Balboa) in the city of Newport Beach, California.
In its day, the Inn was the number one hostelry on the Orange County Coast.
The Balboa Inn was, and still is, a favorite getaway spot for Hollywood stars. For example, Olympic athlete and Tarzan star Johnny Weissmueller stayed there. Legend has it that Weissmueller swam the distance between the Balboa Pier and Newport Pier on a regular basis.
The Inn has been remodeled and modernized a number of times. However, its graceful Spanish architecture remains largely unchanged today.
The most famous room at the Inn is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Suite with its nine (9) foot high doors.
Nearby historical buildings and sights and sites include the Balboa Pavilion (est. 1906), Balboa Pier (est. 1906), Balboa Fun Zone (est. 1936), and Balboa Island Ferry (est. 1919). Activities nearby include narrated harbor cruises, Catalina Island passenger ferry, sport fishing, restaurants, shops, stores, and the ocean beach. During large south ocean swells, the nearby world-famous Wedge provides dangerous and exciting surfing entertainment.
