Although the beach is popular in and of itself, Balboa is perhaps best known for its historic pavilion an attraction for scores of families over the years. Crowned by a cupola and famous for its steep gables, the pier-perched pavilion dates from the early 20th century. It's worn many hats in its time: terminal point for the Pacific Electric Red Car, venue for Big Band acts in the '20s and '30s (ever hear of the "Balboa Hop"?), bathhouse for vacationing well-to-do tourists from LA, and departure point for whale-watching and sightseeing cruises. Balboa Fun Zone (1936), a classic beachside amusement park, boasts its original Ferris wheel and merry-go-round.
