Crystal Cove State Park - Los Trancos Beach is an historic beachfront stretch within the designated historic district of Crystal Cove State Park, which protects 46 rustic 20th-century beachfront cottages within a 12-acre coastal area. The beach is divided into northern and southern beachfront sections by its namesake Los Trancos Creek, which meets the Pacific Ocean along the beach's shores. Visitors can swim and scuba dive in the beach's waters during the summer months or use the beach's paved bicycle trail for biking, walking, and jogging along the coastline. A number of the beach's historic cottages are available for overnight rental, with low rates maintained by the state to encourage Californians to appreciate the region's history. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner service is also available at the nearby Beachcomber Cafe, which offers waterfront seating.
