Balboa is the sport fishing and sailing center of the west coast. As

one time a Yankee smugglers hide out and later a rum-runners
headquarters. Today this sail-dotted lagoon-like bay is the most
popular small boat harbor on the Pacific Coast. The bay was formed by
the Santa Ana River, but the stream carried so much silt into the bay
by 1915 that it had to be diverted into a new channel directly to the
sea."

"Balboa and Balboa Island, California. These ever popular vacation and
week-end recreational areas face one another across the sail-dotted
lagoon-like bay, on the shores of which are clustered many fine homes and pleasure crafts. This bay was
once popular with Yankee smugglers, and an important commercial port
from 1872 to 1898. The Santa Ana River carried great quantities of silt
into the bay by 1915 and it finally had to be dredged to a depth of 10
feet, at low tide. The spectacular Tournament of Lights, Flight of the
Snowbirds and the Pacific Yacht Regatta are annual events on the bay.
Ferry boats operate between Balboa and Balboa Island on an almost
continuous schedule."

that one must arrange several years in advance for a spot."
(PIC) "Balboa Bay. Balboa Bay
is located in Orange County and was formed by the Santa Ana River. So
much silt had been carried into the bay that a new channel as cut to
divert the water, in 1915. A great number of local people, including
this cameraman, remember walking across the bay at low tide. The bay
has since been dredged to a depth of 10 feet at low water. The pleasure
and sport fishing fleet is the largest on the Pacific Coast. At one
time this was a commercial port but fell behind San Pedro in 1872.
Balboa is the home of the sport fishing fleet, while Balboa Island is
the home of the pleasure fleet."

cliffs rose "twice as high as our royal-mast-head," observed Richard
Henry Dana when the Pilgrim anchored here in 1835. "The shore is rocky,
and directly exposed to the southeast, so that vessels are obliged to
run for their lives on the first sign of a gale". At this time the
descent down the cliffs was so perilous that when Boston hide-traders
anchored here to load, the hides were thrown onto the beach from above."
