⛴️🌴🌊 Ferry, Boardwalk, and Ocean Views: Balboa to Newport Beach Pier Walk

🌟 PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING UP

This small group walk offers big views!

🚗 Parking Heads-Up
Park at your own risk. You may want to consider parking near Pavilion’s rather than in front of Sapori or the former US Bank, as a private patrol company has recently increased surveillance in that area.

🤝 Be a Considerate Hiker
Please only sign up if you’re confident you can attend. If you do need to cancel, kindly do so as early as possible—last-minute cancellations prevent folks on the waitlist from joining.

⏳ Waitlist Info
If the event is full, feel free to add yourself to the waitlist. When spots open up, waitlisted hikers will be automatically moved to “Going” in the order they signed up and notified via MeetUp.

📸 Profile Photo Required
All participants must have a profile photo that clearly shows their entire face—thanks for helping keep the group welcoming and recognizable!

🚶‍♂️ ABOUT THE WALK 🌴
Level: Flat, advanced beginner
Distance: ~6 miles
Time: About 2¼ hours
🌊 The Route
Starting at the former US Bank, we’ll stroll over to Balboa Island, wander down Marine, and follow the waterfront to the Balboa Island Ferry.
⛴️ We’ll take the ferry ($2.00 each way) over to the Balboa Peninsula, then walk the boardwalk to the Newport Beach Pier—our midway rest stop with restrooms 🚻 and a chance to take in the views.
☀️ After a short break, we’ll retrace our steps back to our starting point.

Looking forward to a beautiful walk, great company, and plenty of seaside smiles! 😊🌴🌊
