Crystal Cove State Park

Crystal Cove State Park is a public ocean beach on the California coast, about 4 miles from Newport Beach. Restrooms are available, lifeguards are on duty, and the beach has accessible access, which makes it a straightforward stop for families and visitors who need easier entry to the sand. Summer and early fall bring the warmest conditions. Typical averages from the nearby Newport Beach Harbor weather station put highs around 72 to 74°F from July through September, with almost no wet days in those months. A fee is charged to visit the park. Several trails start close by, including Brian's Trail less than a mile away and Moro Canyon Trail at about 1.5 miles. Climbers can find Pirate's Cove and the Corona Del Mar climbing area roughly 2.6 to 2.7 miles up the coast.
