Newport Beach, CA Factoid
It may surprise visitors to learn that tiny Balboa Island, located at the head of Newport Bay, is entirely man-made. Indeed, what was a mere sand spit in the first quarter of the 20th century is now an island, composed mostly of fill, with a surface area of just under two miles. Available property on Balboa, as you can imagine, is at a premium, and it's not uncommon for even modest parcels of land to list for millions of dollars.
