Crystal Cove State Park

What an amazing place. Miles of untouched beaches without crazy crowds or commercialism, with miles of trials in the surrounding lands around the shore. We ended up spending numerous hours wandering around, taking it all in, and loving every second of the experience. A 15.00 fee to park was more than worth it

Beautiful Park very nice walk down to the beach. Only complaint was only two of the six bathrooms were in operation and there was a line. Also access to drinks. Water was minimal other than that. It would be nice if they had more signs posted up on where to godefinitely more friendly towards locals than tourist. Not a park for dogs

All beaches are awesome, right? This beach is no exception. $20 parking per car, does have a steep concrete incline and a decent hike to get to the sand. Be careful how much stuff you bring... and dump your coolers before you start walking back up.

I love walk all the way down to the beach. But I hate no cave, no tidal pool, no infinite pool to explore. So I can only give 4.5. It is so dumb for me to just stay on the beach, but doing nothing.

Crystal Cove State Beach Park is a hidden gem along the California coast that offers stunning natural beauty and a peaceful atmosphere. The beach itself features soft sands and picturesque tide pools, making it a perfect spot for sunbathing, beachcombing, or simply enjoying the sound of the waves. The scenic cliffs and vibrant marine life add to the park's charm. I loved exploring the trails that wind through the park, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape. The hiking paths are well-maintained and cater to various skill levels, making it accessible for everyone. One of the highlights of my visit was witnessing the incredible sunsets. The sky transforms into a beautiful palette of colors that reflects off the water, creating a truly magical experience. Overall, Crystal Cove State Beach Park is an ideal destination for nature lovers and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I can't wait to return to soak in more of its natural beauty!
