About this Location

Crystal Cove State Park is one of Orange County’s largest remaining examples of open space and natural seashore. It features 3.2 miles of beach, 2,400 acres of backcountry wilderness, and an offshore underwater area.

The park also features the federally listed Historic District, an enclave of 46 vintage rustic coastal cottages originally built as a seaside colony in the 1930s and 40s and nestled around the mouth of Los Trancos Creek.

  • The park is located off Pacific Coast Highway between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach.
  • The park is open between 6:00 am and sunset, with the Historic District area remaining open until 10:00 pm. Parking does require a fee. 
  • There are four entrances: two along the bluffs at Pelican Point and Reef Point, and two inland at Los Trancos and School/State Park.
  • State Park staff and docents conduct interpretive programs year-round including guided hikes, tidepool walks, and geology talks.
