Corona del Mar State Beach - Newport, California

One of my favorite beaches ever! BEAUTIFUL.

Clean. Never crowded. We went this Sunday, around noon. Very few people around. 

Pretty small beach area. Lots of firepits. Actual bathrooms that are pretty well maintained. There is a jetty you can walk down. Seals swimming around. Boats in and out of the bay. Super fun to watch. Relaxing. People fishing.

There are some rocks you can climb. Easy climb. Small kids could do it with a bit of assistance. It takes you over to a small cove. Nobody there! 2 tiny caves over there. Stairs to get down to that side. 

You can park at the top, which overlooks the beach, and parking is free up there. The walk down is a chore. Lots of steps. Or you can drive down, and pay to park. 4 bucks an hour. Well worth it. 

There is also a snack shack. Not sure what they sell. But it's there. They were open, even though there was only a handful of people. Lots of huge houses lining the beach. (Not too close).

It really is a beautiful and peaceful spot. Quiet. A great spot for sure. Take 55 to 73S. Exit MacArthur, and follow it until it dead ends into PCH. Turn left. You will see a Smart and Final on your right. Just after you pass that, turn right at the very next light. (Can't remember the name of street). Go to the end (beach is in front of you, you can only go right or left). Turn right, and you are there. Enjoy!
