Corona del Mar State Beach, affectionately known as 'Big Corona' by locals, is a scenic enclave with dramatic cliffs, gentle surf, and a wide, family-friendly beach. According to the Los Angeles Times and local favorite OC Weekly, it’s ideal for swimming, volleyball, and watching boats drift into Newport Harbor. The adjacent tide pools and rock jetties attract explorers of all ages, and the charming village of Corona del Mar offers independent cafes and boutiques within walking distance. Evening bonfires are a cherished tradition here, drawing the community together as the sun sets.

The only OC beach I know that has street parking without paying. Beautiful beach that the water is clean with some seaweed. Overall the sunset is nice and a place to go for a swim. Pay parking is available but I prefer street parking if available on the weekdays.

Such a beautiful beach! Close parking was a great plus. The variety It has to offer. Is that it's right by the Newport Harbor, giant rocks to climb on, bathroom accessibility and such a clean Beach! It's also a very cool hangout for youth because it's somewhat secluded in its area.

This is one of my favorite beaches in Orange County. It’s clean, safe, and has a relaxed vibe that makes it perfect whether you’re there to swim, sunbathe, or just take a walk and clear your head. The beach is wide with soft sand, and the water is usually calm because of the jetty ,great for kids or people who don’t like big waves. There are clean bathrooms and showers right on site, which is super convenient. The parking lot is right next to the beach, but it fills up fast on weekends, so go early if you don’t want to deal with that. You can also park in the neighborhoods nearby, but be prepared to walk down a hill. At low tide, there are tide pools to explore on the rocks, and you can sometimes spot little crabs or sea anemones. The sunsets here are amazing — definitely worth sticking around for. I’ve also seen rabbits around the edges of the beach, which was kind of random but cute. Overall, it’s a peaceful, scenic beach that feels a little tucked away even though it’s in the middle of Newport. Great spot for a quiet beach day without the party vibe of some other OC beaches.

It has a beautiful ocean view and much to do at the beach. The sand is clean, and there are many fire pits for people if you want to grill. Public toilets are available. There's one place to order food, but they close early by 5 pm. Paid parking is $21.00 for three hours on a Saturday.

Fishing the jetty is very fun and offers great views...also, right next door is "Little Corona Beach" which is one of the most relaxing beaches I have ever been to. I highly recommend it! That's after visiting about one year ago, after writing it off as "too busy" for many years. I have been many times since. Crowds have not been an issue for me so far, even on weekends.

This is our favorite place ever, we love to walk on the pier watch all the boats go by and walk in the sand from beginning to end and weighed in the water. It is gorgeous.
