Located at the northern end of the Balboa Peninsula, the West Jetty View Beach is known by the locals as “The Wedge”, and is one of the most popular surfing spots in Southern California. This beach features a long jetty that runs across the water, which is what creates the large waves that can reach up to 30 feet. This spot has been featured in a PBS documentary and has also been mentioned in Bruce Brown’s Endless Summer and All Time Low’s Let it Roll. The history of this beach goes all the way back to the 1920s, and its legacy as a prime Southern California surfing spot carries on to this day.
