![]() ![]() I don’t get in the water myself, but there are always a bunch of surfers and bodyboarders braving the crazy breaks. If you are looking for tide pools, stop by Little Corona Del Mar when you are there as well.ĭirectly across the channel from Corona Del Mar, the Wedge is a place I like to go to when the swells are coming in. This beach has it all, a large parking lot, a fun cove area with a bunch of rocks to climb around on, fire pits to hang out by, and a jetty that gives you some fantastic views of the beach. Plus, they have a Shake Shack up on the hillside and who doesn’t like walking up to grab a good milkshake while enjoying the beach.Īfter 1000 Steps Beach, Corona Del Mar is easily my favorite. There are multiple parking lots with access to the beach, so it is pretty spread out, giving you lots of sand access without a ton of people. I am a huge fan of Crystal Cove because it is a great state park with excellent hiking trails and three miles of coastline. This is because I will probably make a post only on Laguna Beach since it has some genuinely fantastic beaches like Victoria and Shaws Cove, so watch out for that video. It never feels too crowded here because of the parking, and I always love spending a half-day relaxing on the sand and walking down to the sea cave if the tide is not too high.Īlso, I am skipping over a bunch of great Laguna Beach spots to get to the next one. Once you get down to the beach, it feels like an oasis with a beautiful and small section of coast walled in on both sides by cliffs. The beach also has a very steep staircase, which the name 1000 Steps comes from, so save your energy for the walk up. If you go at low tide, you may even see some creatures in the tide pools.ġ000 Steps Beach is probably my favorite beach on this list, but note that it is tough to find parking here, and you want to go early for a chance to score a spot. Plus, it is the only beach I know of that has a funicular, which is a small elevator that runs basically sideways and takes you from the parking lot to the beach. ![]() It is an excellent spot with a lot of parking and a good amount of coastline. Also, this beach can be accessed via the Metrolink / Amtrack, so if you live near a stop, you can hop on and get dropped off right at the beach without having to find a place to park.ĭana Point has a few great beaches like Strands and Salt Creek, but I usually prefer Strands. The beach has a nice pier with a couple of restaurants on it, and it has a bunch of shops and restaurants across Avenida Del Mar as well. This beach is great though for surfers, bodyboarders, and just those wanting to relax on the sand. ![]() San Clemente will always have a special place in my heart because it was where I surfed for the first time. ![]()
