ABOUT CORONA DEL MAR
Perched above the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean, Corona del Mar lives up to its name, “Crown of the Sea.” Locals call it “CdM,” and though the chic hamlet is part of Newport Beach, it has an aesthetic all its own, with vintage cottages and stunning new houses side-by-side on flower-named residential streets. Visitors can enjoy restaurants like the Quiet Woman, Pirozzi Corona Del Mar, and Zinc Cafe & Market, or stroll the expansive grounds at Sherman Library and Gardens. There’s plenty of shopping to be done along PCH as well. Brides-to-be will want to visit The White Dress while those with a taste for luxury should check out On Que Style, the insider’s spot for flawless resale.

This favorite spot in Orange County among tourists and locals alike is jam-packed with treasures. Between hiking, paddle boarding, marshmallow roasting, surfing, tide pooling, cave exploring, and so much more—there is something here for everyone.
​
The beautiful Corona del Mar State Beach, also known as Big Corona, is the #1 stop in town! With the gorgeous views, great waves, wide-open space, and easy access it’s easy to see why. Pack your board and get ready to catch some waves because the water here is perfect for surfing and bodyboarding. In fact, Corona del Mar State Beach was the site of the first big surfing competition in the United States in 1928!
