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.

[@daved5288]

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

[@lauriehermsdorf4609]

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...

[@lucillegass4715]

Wow! Haven't been to balboa since the 80's still looks beautiful! Thank you for taking me back to happier times!😇😇

[@ProfessorSetterby]

I grew up in Irvine, we’d ride our bikes to Balboa and take the Ferry and enjoy the peninsula too!!

[@johnniebgoode]

When I went to UCI, how I loved to cycle there, take the ferry, cruise up the peninsula and back home. Good times.

[@joeleon5009]

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!!

[@lisagonzalez8957]

Spencer I don’t tell you enough how fantastic your music accompaniment are to all your videos!!! It really makes me happy and more relaxed and just jazzed to hear your music that you add. Great job!

[@DavidHernandez-op4tg]

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

[@lindacollier6339]

Gosh darnit, I'm gonna need to go there now! Ty ❤ I needed that laugh especially the alley-gator joke! I just tested positive for covid.. permission to sleep and watch TV...hey dont cry for me ok 😉🤧😷✌🏻

[@timnoel511]

My mom's cousin owns a beach house right on the beach in Balboa Island.

[@aliciafree6737]

Nice little stroll. Balboa Island very quaint and cute.

[@marimurillo4050]

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.

[@karenleemallonee684]

This was heaven, I enjoyed it so much! Do you think you guys could explore Catalina Island for us? I have never been & I'm always hearing how lovely it is there! Thanks, Spencer and Katie!!! ❣️ 🌼

[@marissalyn]

Love Catalina so much.

[@kellydooling]

we loved exploring this little island. looks like a beautiful day.

[@TheGypsyGirl77]

I never thought to go to balboa island always stayed south in laguna..this might be a fun place to go!

[@1staid477]

Laguna do be hard to leave 😂

[@jixxter]

Classic Katieism "I want a balboa bar, what's a balboa bar?"

[@mags6054]

Wow such a cool and fun place :) thanks for taking us along for the ride🏝😎🍦

[@richardcarrier367]

So jelly of your club 33 hat! We love Balboa Island! What no frozen Banana! Gotta try the frozen banana with fruity pebbles.. DELICIOUS

[@sus829]

I love these kind of videos! I have never heard of Balboa Island, the kind of places I love to explore, wish I was there now! Keep up the interesting little cute town videos!

[@joannebush4491]

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.

[@bee9895]

What a beautiful beach especially for us beach lovers !

[@disnyqueen5511]

[@michellelyness4931]

[@CplKitfox]

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!

[@colleencrane4843]

My grandparents used to own different houses on Balboa, back in the day, oh only to have one of those lil houses today...So love Balboa Island 😀❤😘

[@fourrs4262]

Looks like a fun, relaxing place! We want to visit there now! 😀

[@scg12321]

Spent several summers growing up at Newport Beach/Balboa island. It’s one of my favorite places! So many fun memories watching this video 💙⛵️🐚

[@michaelrosales2723]

Wilma's Patio is an awesome place to eat! All of the food there is great!!!

[@timnoel511]

Every time we go we have to take the car ferry across the water. It's always a fun experience.

[@anab.7450]

What a fun little spot! I’ll have to check that out some day.

[@gotmad371]

Wow. Didn't know about that island. Thanks for sharing your day w/ us. ❤️🏝️🤗

[@christineleonard247]

You mentioned Tam O’Shanter….have you done a video from there? If not would you be able to? I have always wanted to go there but never make it when I am down south. Thx

[@kimberlytroxel5341]

You guys should go to Morro bay and Hearst Castle and me and my husband go there all the time and it’s so cool ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@briannachadwick7906]

So pretty! That looks like a lovely place to spend a day! I wanted to thank you guys again for taking the time to chat with my family at the parade last week! It completely made my trip!

[@francescamerica4098]

Great video Spencer and Katie

[@francescamerica4098]

Never been to Balboa Island. Can't wait to go in July

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

Oh yes, much like MARTHA'S VINEYARD. Beautiful there, I like the cool little things in people's yards.

[@Disney-art-craft-fan]

[@Disney-art-craft-fan]

willma's on Ballboa is the place to eat all the locals eat at Willma's. It is my go-to place to eat.

[@redwon007]

Looked like a fun relaxing day! Thank you for sharing it with us all! You both rock!

[@cesarestrada8175]

[@lauri-jeancarlson8476]

Jaws is great movie

[@debcotton1746]

Our family vacations back in the 60s were always on the Peninsula a block from the ferry and Fun Zone. There was a frozen banana stand there too. Banana Roll A Rama. lol

[@brookejohnson2570]

I like Balboa island alot. My dad and I an art show there every year on the boardwalk in may.

[@stacyscooby8488]

Beautiful wow 😮

[@francescamerica4098]

Omg spencer that’s what I just thinking that it looks like Martha Vineyard I was there back in 2002 and it so cute I love that island and I hope you guys could go some day to Boston it’s amazing and beautiful 🤩💜

[@TheGypsyGirl77]

[@prest0ncali]

My hometown!!! ❤

[@evangelinebedal1497]

hey guys. we will be whale watching end of this month. where do you suggest to park? it would be a first time for us.

[@JeffytheAdventurer]

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!

[@kristenw218]

Congratulations on 90,000 subscribers!! Really enjoyed this video. I love when you two explore more of California! I’m a huge Arrested Development fan! Love seeing the inspiration.

[@TheGarbalosafamilyAdventures]

That looks like a very nice

[@Alexa-vd5cy]

Absolutely LOVE balboa island! Next time you guys go, you HAVE to try CIAO, the Italian restaurant right down the street from Wilma’s patio. It is the BEST Italian food ever…

[@tanandwiz]

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.

[@steveruiz64]

Reminds me so much of Pismo Beach.

[@enchantkeymike8170]

Gold belly has Balboa Bars you can order

[@brandiesedillo9056]

Balboa Bars are amazing, but the Frozen Bananas & the Hippo Cookies are the BOMB at Dad's. There have been times I've driven from HB over to DAD'S just for HIPPO COOKIES!

[@cynthiadameron1399]

It reminds me of Coronado in San Diego

[@Big-un]

Nice video. Also try the Sugar Shack in Huntington Beach, downtown Seal Beach and then make your way to Belmont Shores.

[@donnaconnolly2474]

I have to go in candy stores where ever we travel

[@freddiemorales5030]

Reminds me of Coronado Island in San Diego.

[@samanthadruzynski3188]

Slush puppie FAR superior to icee

[@baileyb.3653]

[@deba175]
