Bay Island is an idyllic community of just 23 luxury residences located on a private island off of the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. The prestigious neighborhood is renowned for its pristine homes and superior security. The premium waterfront homes offer the very pinnacle of luxury living in Orange County.
Bay Island was first established as a gun club in 1903. Today, the private island features impressive waterfront residences on a one-of-a-kind island in Newport Harbor. The unique community does not allow cars and is only accessible via a small pedestrian-only bridge.
