Fuel Up for Adventure
Start your day right with a legendary sandwich from Gallo’s Italian Deli in Corona del Mar, right near the beach. Their famous Turbacado, piled high with turkey, bacon, and avocado, is a must-try!
Hit the High Seas (Electrically!)
No boat? No problem! Rent an electric boat from Vision Electric Boat Rental and cruise the harbor like a local. Pack a charcuterie board and drinks for a fancy (and breezy!) afternoon.
Check Out the Balboa Fun Zone
