A Little Cove Community

Although technically in Newport Beach, Crystal Cove has its own vibe and community; it’s secluded in all the good ways. This place is perfect for people who enjoy waterfront living and watching the sunset along the Pacific but still appreciate the quietness of a gated community. Someone who lives here must truly enjoy nature, especially with Crystal Cove State Park being so close.

Since there are so many outdoor options ranging from the state park to the state beach, having pets is highly recommended. Not only would you love the fresh ocean breeze and smell of the beautiful fauna, but dogs would enjoy these small things as well.

In the Backyard of a State Park

Crystal Cove residents must be mindful of the Crystal Cove State Park and the Crystal Cove State Beach, as they are practically in the backyards of many homes. On land, the state park is utilized by many mountain bikers--a common recreational sport in the area. At sea, the state beach is popular amongst scuba divers, skin divers, and surfers. The Crystal Cove State Park website has lists of hiking trails on which to adventure, tidepools to check out, and even camping sites. Crystal Cove is a solid fit for those who enjoy the outdoors and setting up a tent in the wilderness. There’s also a high sense of community in regards to learning about the history of the area. Don’t forget to visit the historic district and check out the community’s rich past.

Things to Do

Besides the awesome sites you can visit within the State Park, there are other cool things to check out around the area. Fans of the fresh and affordable produce can shop at the local and wonderful Trader Joe’s. Who doesn’t love some TJ brand hummus and pita chips?

For car buffs interested in living out on the coast, Aston Martin Dealership is well within the area. Check out the variety of cars they have to show, join Club Aston, and make buddies with the other car enthusiasts within the area.
