Crystal Cove State Park is one of Orange County’s largest remaining examples of open space and natural seashore. It features 3.2 miles of beach, 2,400 acres of backcountry wilderness and an offshore underwater area. The park also features the federally listed Historic District, an enclave of 46 vintage rustic coastal cottages originally built as a seaside colony in the 1930’s & 40’s and nestled around the mouth of Los Trancos Creek.

Park in Trancas parking lot to hop on the $2 trolley or walk down…..yes it is expensive, 10-15 dollars so plan on staying a while to play on the beach and walk around this tiny historic restaurant village where Giligans Island and Gigit were filmed along with many other movies. …The Beachcomber Restaurant validates for parking which helps!). They raise the martini flag and blow the horn each day at 5pm! Once in the village take the stairs to top of cliff for a burger or shake at Ruby’s Shake Shack outdoor eating with an incredible view of the ocean! Go back down to the beach to explore the tide pools.

Crystal Cove is a great place to step back into the past! See what California was like decades ago with renovated beach homes, a lovely beachside restaurant and the famous Shake Shake on the cliff. You can spend ALL day here and want to come back for more. Hiking, beach time, great food, history, nature guided walks and so much more. One of my all time favorite places!
