Corona del Mar State Beach provides a slight change of scenery for those exploring the areas neighboring Newport Beach. There is a paid parking lot for the public located next to the sand, and the rates change from weekdays to weekends.
Little Corona Beach
Little Corona Beach is by no means secret, but the lack of parking means that you won’t have to pack onto the small area of sand in this paradise. There is street parking available along Poppy Avenue and Ocean Boulevard. Once you hop out of your car, make the short trek down the paved hill, and you’ll find yourself at this enchanting spot. We recommend exploring the tide pools and snorkeling through the crystal-clear waters off the beach.
