Taken from Wikipedia, "Balboa Island is an area of Newport Beach, California, actually comprising three modified or artificial islands in Newport Harbor: Balboa Island (33°36'23?N 117°53'40?W), the largest; the smaller Little Balboa Island (33°36'23?N 117°53'16?W) to the east of Balboa Island, joined by a two-lane bridge; and the smallest Collins Isle (33°36'31?N 117°54'1?W) to the northwest of Balboa Island, joined by a one-lane bridge. The Balboa Island community is joined to the mainland by a short two-lane bridge on the northeast of Balboa Island, and a privately operated fleet of three, three-car ferryboats (Balboa Island Ferry) which provide access across the harbor to the Balboa Peninsula which lies to the south."
