About this park
Crystal Cove State Park along the Orange County coast between Laguna Beach and Newport Beach protects about three miles of Pacific shoreline. Sandy beaches, rocky coves and tide pools sit below bluffs and canyons that remain wild despite the surrounding development. The park's historic district, a collection of restored 1930s seaside cottages, gives it a special charm and a glimpse of early California beach culture. Inland, backcountry trails climb through coastal sage scrub and offer views over the ocean, and the tide pools are a favorite for families. Entry is $15 per vehicle. Arrive early on summer weekends and check tide charts if you plan to explore the tide pools.
