Photograph article dated August 22, 1962 partially reads, "Yachting center of the Southland, playground for millionaires, yet no more expensive than staying at home - that's the story of Balboa Bay. Unlike Miami Beach, Sarasota Bay and other luxury yacht harbors the beautiful Newport Beach area has carefully kept prices within bounds. Except for waterfront homes, which are indeed fabulously expensive, all the other costs of living compare favorably with the Valley." Sightseeing boats, like the one pictured, cruise Balboa Bay regularly, giving those persons who do not own a boat a delightful trip.
