Balboa Pavilion, Victorian pavilion in Newport Beach, United States.
The Balboa Pavilion features a long sloping roof line and a Victorian cupola at its crown, standing prominently along Newport Harbor's waterfront.
Built in 1906 by Newport Bay Investment Company, the pavilion opened alongside the Pacific Electric Red Car Line, bringing thousands of visitors from Los Angeles.
The second floor's 8,000-square-foot meeting room became a center for dancing during the 1930s Big Band era, introducing the dance step named the Balboa.
Visitors can access daily trips to Catalina Island through the Catalina Flyer service, along with sportfishing and whale watching excursions from Davey's Locker.
The structure houses the Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom, offering dining and events with direct views of Newport Harbor's maritime activities.
