Crystal Cove State Park in California

Crystal Cove State Park is located halfway between Laguna Beach and Corina del Mar. It covers 3 1/2 square miles of the Southen California coast. If you are looking for things to do in California, this is one of the best ways that you can spend a day. Take a day trip to this area so you can see for yourself. You can even rent a beach cottage in the Historic District if you decide that one day just isn't enough.

Crystal Cove State Park

The Crystal Cove State Park is located in Southern California along the coastal waters.

They welcome you to bring your dog while you are visiting their park but ask that you keep them on a 6 foot or shorter leash and they are only allowed on the paved areas of the park. You cannot take your dog onto the beach or in te backcountry and you certainly can't leave them in your car unattended.

They don't allow any kind of alcohol in the park at all. You can't have any kind of glass container near the beach for obvious reasons.

You can enjoy the beautiful views of the cliffs but you are not allowed to try and climb any of them for safety reasons.

The tidepools are a big attraction at the Crystal Cove State Park. You will see all sorts of animals and shells while you are there. The park doesn't permit you to collect any of these species but you can take a piece of driftwood as a souvenir if you choose.

This park is great for those who love watersports. The water's off the shore of the park have been designated as an underwater park so that they can be preserved for years to come so everyone can experience it as it is naturally.

There is no lauching any kind of vessel here, so don't bring anything but a kayak because they do have a place designated for that purpose only.

There is 3 different areas you can hike to and even camp if you want to. You must have everything you need with you when you head out to the backcounty, they have no supplies available at the camping locations.

 

Bring your grill because you are allowed to use propane here as long as they are small grills. A great day trip in California could end with a perfect meal and then watching the sunset before you have to leave the Crystal Cove State Park. You can stay longer if you are planning on having dinner in the Historic District at the Beachcomber restaurant.

The Historic District also has beach cottages available for rent. You can rent them by the night or for a whole week, the choice is up to you on how much time you want to spend in this area. We know many people who have visited that said they would never leave given a choice.
