Review:
Crystal Cove State Park is one of California's largest remaining open spaces and natural coastlines and one of the top Laguna Beach attractions. Located between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach, Crystal Cove features beautiful sandy beaches, shimmering tidal pools, excellent surf, undulating hills, and thickly wooded canyons and ridges, making it a spectacular natural landscape. Boasting more than three miles of pristine beach and over 2,000 acres of rugged backcountry wilderness, Crystal Cove State Park is popular with outdoor enthusiasts who can take advantage of its magnificent scenery by hiking, biking, scuba and skin diving, swimming, fishing, and surfing in the area.
For the less adventurous, tidal pools provide opportunities for extensive exploration, and State Park staff and docents offer interpretive programs year-round including tidal pool walks, guided hikes, and geology talks.
