Crystal Cove State Park Newport Beach Reviews from The Last Year
$15 for a day pass
So the beaches are okay but paying $15 for any sort of beach access in the parks is kind of steep. Then it’s still a bit of a hike to most beaches.
From Crystal Cove Historical District visitor center, we
From Crystal Cove Historical District visitor center, we took the staircase up to the bluff hiking trail. Lots of flowers in bloom! Stopped to take flower pictures and used google lens to identify them. We walked all the way to Pelican Hill Point - paved asphalt, easy, 1 mile. Asphalt turns to dirt trail out to the lookout point. We saw dolphins and flying pelicans. There are a number of beach access ramps, and staircases along the trail (parking lots with restrooms). We took the staircase down to the beach, explored tidepools, and walked back to Shake Shack for lunch (1mile). Total hike was 2 miles round trip.
Came to Crystal Cove beach for a swim on Father's Day since
Came to Crystal Cove beach for a swim on Father's Day since my husband loves swimming in the ocean. This beach is beautiful. Feels like you are walking to a beach someplace in Hawaii. Beautiful grounds with lots of flowers and greenery. Restrooms are clean and there are a few of them in the area. There is a cafe right by the beach also a burger shack. You can rent beach chairs and umbrella for a good price. No need to take yours. We absolutely love coming here.
My children, grandchildren and I have some of our best
My children, grandchildren and I have some of our best memories at beautiful Crystal Cove State Park. Today, I am a senior, who needs handicap parking, and I have a dog. We arrived at about 11:00 this morning, excited to walk around enjoy the beach. The man at the entrance quickly told us that there was no handicap parking--no parking at all. He said we had to turn around, cross PCH, park across the street and get a trolley back to the beach. After all of this, I said, "My dog is allowed on leash, correct?" No, he said. "No dogs on beach. Dogs are allowed on cement walkways only." My dog was secured on the front seat, easily seen. He could have told me this and not wasted my time. As it turned out, my dog was not allowed on trolley and crossing PCH was scary, and I felt terribly vulnerable. As we walked on cement walkway, we saw dozens of empty parking spots, handicap even, on the ocean side. Parking closer would have been so much easier and a much more pleasant experience. I want to thank Roberto López, the man at parking entrance across the street. He was friendly and eager to help. I would hope that all your representatives would be welcoming, kind and able to use their common sense. Being a senior and handicapped after double knee replacement, requires the assistance of those that choose to work at one of our state parks. Please train your employees to do a better job. Sincerely, María Lucía Gómez-Greenberg
Beautiful beach! Feels somewhat secluded due to the cliffs
Beautiful beach! Feels somewhat secluded due to the cliffs and limited number of access points from the parking lots and trails above. We arrived at about 2pm on a Saturday and I was expecting it to be packed, but it wasn't at all. We easily found a parking spot and a spot on the beach. Since you have to travel down the cliff to reach the beach I recommend packing light - this is not the beach to haul an entire outdoor living room to. My five year old and I managed to take one chair, an umbrella, a beach bag, and a thing of sand toys but anything more would have been unmanageable for the two of us. It costs $15 to park during the week and $20 on summer weekends after Memorial Day. (You can also visit your local library and check out a day-use parking pass for free that gets you in to 200+ state parks.)
I have been coming to Crystal Cove since I was a kid, but
I have been coming to Crystal Cove since I was a kid, but today's hike was by far one of the most beautiful I've ever had at the park. My mom and I came for a late afternoon hike and did the shorter five mile loop that begins at the No Dogs Trail and ends at the beach tunnel parking lot. Everywhere we looked and walked there were SO MANY beautiful flowers!! The bloom at this time of year (mid-May) is absolutely astonishing and the sweeping views of the hills were filled with so many vibrant shades of green. I recommend coming to this hike and packing a lunch to eat on the beach once you finish. It's easy to make an entire day out of your 15$ visit to this Orange County staple--in my opinion, the most beautiful view along PCH in the area
The old man at the security booth has got to go!!! God
The old man at the security booth has got to go!!! God FORBID you get to your rv site/camp site even 5 minutes before check in- THEY MAKE YOU LEAVE AND COME BACK EXACTLY AT 3pm! THERES NOBODY IN THE SITE yet we cannot go in. Don't worry tho, the old man at the security booth will also mansplain rules to you and how to back in properly to your rv site. Let it go bro, let it go.
Finally took the time to visit this beautiful state park.
Always wanted to take a hike down to the beach for tidepools. Parking is $15, but if you visit any local libraries a state park pass is available upon request at no charge. Simply when you arrived to any state parks or beaches hang it up on your rear view mirror. No need to pay for parking. There's few different parking lots depending where you would like to go. Hiking down to beach and tidepools was a breeze. So many gorgeous flowers blooming as you walk on pavement trails. Different lookouts at certain locations had amazing views! As we walked down to beach, spotted a cool cave. Many interesting rocks formation throughout. It was a little disappointing we weren't able to see a lot within tidepools, but worth checking out. Saw a bunch of blue jellyfishes washed up on shore and some sea anemones. I really enjoyed spending my time there with the sun out. It's now one of my favorite spot to go hiking.
There is a $15 parking fee for all day.
You walk along the trail to get down to the beach.
Crystal cove is positively gorgeous.
I drive through here every day. Twice! And I finally picked a cold, windy day to hike thinking it wouldn't be that busy. Wrong! It was still busy. But still very enjoyable. Dog walkers/owners: we are limited to certain areas only. So you will be walking along PCH. It gets a little noisy. But PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG! Plenty of trash receptacles to toss your dogs biohazard waste. I noticed a pile or two along my walk with my dog. Which is probably why we are limited to certain trails, because dog waste can be very to some wildlife. Not to mention it's a nuisance and an eyesore. So we get punished for other peoples lack of picking up after their dogs. I have a large dog so we can only do a couple miles each way. But I'm sure there's so many more trails in there that we didn't even come close to walking on. I highly recommend you go and enjoy what our coastal areas offer. People spends thousands of dollars to vacation out here. But we live out here!
Beautiful scenery, challenging hikes for those who want it
Beautiful scenery, challenging hikes for those who want it and easier hikes for those who don't. Walk over to the beach after the hike and dip your toes in the sand! Welcome Center station is a bit small but enough for the kiddos. Parking is accessible and nearby there's restaurants for an after-hike lunch!
Peace and joy at the cove
Got together with friends on a beautiful Sunday morning. We walked and talked and enjoyed the beautiful morning. The beach and cove are simply stunning. So thankful for this stunning place. If you are looking for some peace and joy, this is the place to be.
The park attendants give California state parks a bad name.
Consistently each time I go to visit the park or campground the employees are rude and childish. I frequently visit many of Californias other beautiful state parks and I've never been treated even close to as harshly and as rudely by any other state park employee. It makes what would normally be a beautiful time/stay at crystal cove an absolute nightmare. Unless if something changes soon, I would highly suggest going to one of the many other beautiful campsites up and down the coast where you can have a pleasant stay without being treated like you are burden to the staff or you don't belong. I truly hope that this can change, but until that happens I most likely will not be visiting crystal cove.
$15 day use parking fee.
Can pay at the Ranger parking station, visitor center, or pay by phone with your license plate. It's a CA state park so perhaps less crowds at the beaches versus the nearby Laguna Beach municipal maintained areas. Also hiking trails as well.
I love the trails and walkways here.
I came here for vista point which is just a short walk down from the parking lot. It's a great spot for picture opportunities without having to go too far. Parking is $5 per hour so it can get pricey if you come here often. Would be back to check out more trails!

I have a notice stating that my bid has been accepted and is awaiting transfer. The reservation is for the 18th, but the “moderator” said he will confirm booking by the 28th. Is this an indicator that I may not have a reservation?

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
