Local moves

·

The Balboa Island ferry is $2 each way and often faster than driving - park in Balboa Village and cross.

·

Summer weekends fill all peninsula lots by 10 AM - consider ride-share to the Fun Zone area.

·

The Wedge (east jetty) has a small free lot but it fills by 8 AM on any swell day.

·

Corona del Mar Village parking is separate from the peninsula - a 10-min drive and usually less crowded.
