Welcome to Balboa Island...where the cats are numerous fat and lazy, the dogs are spoiled, the houses are quaint and enchanting, and the living is creative and carefree. You can spend your day walking around our beautiful boardwalk, boating, biking, shopping, or lounging.
Don’t be surprised when you can’t choose between mouth watering mandarin, authentic mexican, spicy italian, premium prime-rib, rack of lamb, or good ol’ broiled burgers.
And as your fun-filled day comes to a close and you watch the sun gently set in glittering hues of orange and red.... .. . . . . . . .
Amelia Seton left Balboa Island for the last time in over 50 years last night (January 9, 2010). She will be missed by everyone who knew her. Which was everyone who was here when I arrived 20 years ago. She could always be found walking the boardwalk and smiling at everyone. She founded Amelia’s - one of the oldest family-owned and operated restaurants in Orange County . For nearly 45 years, this cozy landmark on Marine Avenue has offered a distinct menu of delectable Italian and seafood dishes, many of which are original recipes directly from Amelia’s Italian kitchen. Amelia enjoyed cooking and could usually be found in her restaurant, stirring pasta while attired in up-to-the minute fashions. Then when she “retired” she could be found cheering us all up with her smile and her friendly greeting as we passed her on the boardwalk.
