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.

One of my favorite beaches that I’ve visited! Had a huge amount of parking, lots of beach’s space and the waves were awesome, definitely bigger than expected but still had a lot of people bogey boarding and swimming and restrooms on hand! Highly recommend this for a good beach visit if your in the area

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.

One of the best and beautiful parts of Southern California. Corona del Mar is a beautiful and distinguished area. Wonderful estates and pristine beaches. A great family spot.

Came on a weekend afternoon and was surprised to find plenty of parking — big plus! Maybe it’s just the off-season. The sunset was beautiful, but the beach feels more like a spot for family or friends to hang out than a quiet place to enjoy the ocean view.

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.
