Waterfront charm meets easy California living here, where Balboa Island's tiny bayfront cottages sit a short ferry ride from Fashion Island's polished shops. With just 85,000 residents, Newport Beach still packs in serious variety: harbor-view restaurants serving the day's catch, and hotels ranging from surf-side motels to grand resorts overlooking the Pacific.
