Walk from Balboa Pier to The Wedge

Walk the Balboa Peninsula

Starting at Balboa Pier, this coastal walk follows Balboa Beach east along the Pacific toward The Wedge at the end of the peninsula. Along the way, the route passes wide stretches of sandy beach, oceanfront homes, coastal views, and the changing shoreline before reaching one of Newport Beach’s most dramatic surf locations. It’s a simple way to experience several sides of the Balboa Peninsula in a single walk—from the activity surrounding Balboa Pier to the quieter stretches of coastline and powerful shorebreak at The Wedge.
