Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Downtown Costa Mesa?
The most similar neighbourhood to Downtown Costa Mesa is Newport Beach's Balboa Peninsula, offering a comparable blend of beach access, dining, and shopping.

Balboa Peninsula is a long, narrow strip of land with the Pacific Ocean on one side and Newport Bay on the other. It's known for its sandy beaches, the historic Balboa Pier, and the Balboa Fun Zone, an old-fashioned amusement park. The main thoroughfare, Balboa Boulevard, runs the length of the peninsula, lined with restaurants, shops, and holiday rentals.

For families, the Balboa Peninsula is an excellent choice due to its direct beach access and family-friendly attractions. Children will enjoy the Balboa Fun Zone with its Ferris wheel and arcade games, and the calm bay waters are suitable for paddleboarding and kayaking. Many restaurants cater to families, and holiday rentals often provide more space than a typical hotel room.

Couples looking for a relaxed beach holiday will also find the Balboa Peninsula appealing. You can enjoy strolls along the beach, rent bikes to explore the coastline, and dine at waterfront restaurants with ocean views.
