My favorite place for an invigorating walk every Sunday morning. On the beach, on the street level paths (also good for biking) or , like in my case, combining both. Friendly environment, good for families, safe for kids, great to walk the dogs...It can be enjoyed all year long. Many movie scenes were filmed here. The beach house of "Beaches" is part of the Historic District Cottages. Plenty of parking. Good restrooms. The Beachcomber Cafe is at the beach by the cottages.

I love this place. The beach is beautiful. There is hiking. And we always meet such wonderful people. A few years ago my husband and I went to a restaurant for our annivesary and someone we didnt know purchase us wine. Yesterday we met a wonderful family from Arizona. Great people, great beach.

One of the most beautiful beaches that is secluded since you do have to pay a fee to enter. My husband had actually proposed to me on the beach on a Sunday evening. It was the most memorable thing aside from my wedding. I couldnt have asked for a better scenery than this.

Cant say enough about this beach. We started bringing our little kids to Crystal Cove in 1983 and earlier this year, started bringing the grandkids. Spent our 40th anniversary there a couple of weeks ago. Lots and lots of good, happy memories of this place!

No sidewalk or trails to access from hotels in the town (walking or jogging), no alternate routes due to gated communities on either side of the highway, makes the mandatory five dollars an hour parking even harder to swallow for a trip to crystal cove.

One of the great beaches in Orange County. And the Beachcomber is the perfect place to watch the sunset with a drink or a great meal. And if you can get into the sign up window, staying in the vintage cabins is a terrific experience!

For the State Park -- not sure google maps has an icon for it -- had to pay $15 for day use pass but was worth it for excellent loop route -- access to beach then hit Rubys for a shake and took the upper trail back to parking lot 1.

A beautiful, quiet cove is reason enough to visit. however this spot is entirely unique along the Orange county coast with perfectly preserved historic beach cottages and a terrific restaurant literally steps from the waves!

Been coming here since I was a kid, its a bit more crowded then it used to be. Still my favorite beach in southern California!!! Great for family with tide pools, great food and excellent place to just relax!

Beautiful Beach! Easy Parking (but pricey if you dont have an annual pass). This beach as cool rock formations, tide pools, and a few spots where its easy to swim away from the rocks.

We have been coming to Crystal Cove for 35 years. We took our children when they were little, then as teen ages. We are now taking our Grandchildren, it is just the best.

Expensive parking and there was a 2 hour wait just to get into the restaurant that would validate parking... We just paid for the parking... Hungry. -_-

Hidden gem north of Laguna. It is kind of a Speakeasy cove...ya gotta know its there, and want to walk down and up to be there.

Brent Stratton

Beautiful state beach. Has 5 handicapped parking stalls. The rest had a bit of a walk to the beach or wait for the shuttle.

Please dont visit this beautiful place. I want to keep this to myself. Its not the same when its overcrowded. ;)

Pretty, nice campground. Just as $$ to camp here as a hotel inland might be though, so prepare for that.

Not the right entrance if you want to park in the parc. There is parking accross the street though.
