Balboa Bay Club Beach

Since it was built in 1948, the Balboa Bay Club has been Newport Beach’s largest private marina. This landmark site features 15 acres of the Balboa Bay waterfront and sports a gated beach and outdoor pool exclusively for members. There are a wide variety of amenities available at this club including basketball and racquetball courts, a bar lounge, and a brand-new indoor fitness center. Its pristine oceanside location and luxurious features establish a family-friendly and exclusive environment throughout the resort.

Although the private beach is small in size, the water is very gentle and inviting. With a grass lawn and picnic tables a few steps away, this beach is perfect for families with young children who want to swim without worrying about strong waves or tides. If you are looking for a wider beachfront location, the Newport Beach Pier and Corona del Mar Beach are two popular destinations that are only a 10-minute drive away.

If you get hungry, there are many fantastic restaurants within and nearby the club.
