    Balboa Bars are an absolute must every time we go there. I grew up trying every imaginable combo. The first one I had I was about 4 or 5.

    Love the beach side walkway during Christmas. That area goes all out along with the boat parade.

    The Dad's Balboa Bar with butter brickle has my mouth water all the way from Oregon! It was our family favorite from many years ago...

    Its all well kept, because the people that live there have old money. Also fun fact Inxs filmed the music video The Devil Inside at the fun zone. I grew up in Costa Mesa during the 80s and 90s

    Balboa Island in Newport Beach looks really original and fun. I love all the murals on the walls and they pay homage to many famous people. Your vlogs are so calming and informative for me, they take away a lot of negativity that I experience. The boardwalk on Balboa Island is so cool with a nice pathway for pedestrians. I would love to visit Newport Beach sometime and I've heard so many great things about it. Thank you for bringing happiness to my life and I continue to watch your channel!!

    I’ve been to Balboa Island before. My family and I rode the ferry to the island, and we had frozen bananas while also exploring the shops in the area.

    It reminds me a little bit of the small Jersey shore towns. The balboa bar looked so good. Wish I had one now.
    Made me a little sad. Sugar and Spice was the name of our departed corgis. Miss them. Besides that was a great video.

    I’m Central American and know that frozen chocolate bananas have been around for a very long time. My great grandmother used to have a small convenience store and she sold them . Maybe those locations were the first in that area to sell them, but I doubt they invented them

    Well, it's official. BLAB is now our travel guide. We're planning on going to California to visit my sister in late summer....and while we can't afford Disneyland, Spencer's rundown of "things to do outside the Parks" and this video, we're making a steady list!

    Ok, a couple of things I have to point out. 1) cheese cake is gross! I know there is alot of ppl in here that will probably disagree and 2) that Balboa Bar looked really good! I think I will have to go there just for that. Thanks for sharing the awesome adventure BestLife. Love ya guys!

    I have been to Balboa since I was an infant and I love the Balboa bars they are the best! And walking around the island is so nice. When we were little my siblings and I would swim in the bay with our dad. I personally like Dads better on the Balboa bars.
