Newport Bay (California) on the 4th of July, 2014, as seen from the north side of Balboa Peninsula, near Balboa Fun Zone. Balboa Island, Newport Center, the San Joaquin Hills and Saddleback can be seen from this area (if nothing is blocking your view). These kayaks look exactly the same as what I saw in Upper Newport Bay (Upper Newport Bay (20140217-0165).JPG) - They were probably rented here?
