Enjoy Where You Live - Corona Del Mar

Corona del Mar — Spanish for “Crown of the Sea” — is a community as beautiful as its name. Nestled on the foot of the San Joaquin Hills and fronting the Pacific Ocean, Corona del Mar ranges along a bluff at the south end of Newport Beach, California, and includes some of Orange County’s most prestigious residential areas. This seaside community is conveniently located just 50 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport, 4 miles west of Orange County’s John Wayne Airport, and 70 miles north of San Diego. 

 

The Corona del Mar coastline has it all — small private coves, cliffs and tide pools, spectacular views. Directly south is one of Orange County’s jewels — Crystal Cove State Park.  Also not to be missed are the Sherman Library & Gardens, with its library devoted to the history of the Pacific Southwest and its gardens offering an extensive botanical collection ranging from rare cacti to exotic vegetation. 

 

The typically gentle waves of Corona Del Mar State Beach make the destination great for swimming, with volleyball courts and fire pits adding to the fun. The crystal-clear water at Little Corona is great for snorkeling, as well as spotting sea urchins and anemones in the tidepools. Another attraction is Corona Del Mar Tidepools - if you are lucky, you might even see an octopus! Friendly reminder, Little Corona is a no-take preserve, so please never pick up animals, shells, or rocks from the tidepools …. observe them where they are. 

 

The Village in Corona Del Mar is clustered along Pacific Coast Highway from Carnation to Poppy (all the streets in Corona del Mar are named after flowers) with the best locations just minutes away from one another. 

 

Corona Del Mar is one of the most affluent, picturesque, beach adjacent communities in all of Orange County. Homeowners who live in towns that border the Pacific Ocean tend to see gradual appreciation of their homes at a significantly higher rate than those who live inland. Corona Del Mar is no exception to this rule. It is considered one of the more prestigious and attractive localities in all of Southern California.  The town itself sits on the sea facing side of the San Joaquin Hills and continues from Jamboree Road along Pacific Coast Highway to just north of the Pelican Hill Resort and Golf Club. The small, independent shops, cottage style homes, and surrounding seascape form what residents have referred to as a quaint village ambiance. 

 

Part of the true beauty of Corona Del Mar is its village style layout. Within its borders along PCH are a bevy of small, family-owned businesses, art galleries, and restaurants that give it a small town, home-style feel. While there are some large, chain businesses and restaurants, such as Bristol Farms, Sur La Table, and Sprinkles Bakery, much of the strip remains unobtrusive and subtle. Perennial town staples like Francis-Orr Fine Stationary, the ultimate destination for pen and paper aficionados, and The Quiet Woman, considered one of the finest prime rib restaurants and after-hours hangouts in all of Orange County, add to the charm of this lovely strip of PCH.

You’re also only a stone’s throw from Fashion Island which houses Bloomingdales, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and dozens of high fashion boutiques. Within the “Island”, you will also find 11 different restaurants each with its own fine dining experience and 2 cinemas to catch the best new theatrical releases. You’ll never have to leave town to have an all-inclusive date night with all of the options available to you in such a small radius.

Corona Del Mar also reigns as one of Orange County’s top nightlife destinations. On most evenings, restaurants/bars such as Gulfstream, Landmark, Bandera, and The Bungalow have an ongoing calendar of events that include musical acts, DJs, and dancing. Opulent bars, rich food, and attractive crowds make the lively nighttime scene in this town something you’ll not want to miss. Whatever your age, there’s plenty of action on Friday and Saturday nights to suit your needs.

 

For most who make the investment and move to Corona Del Mar, it becomes not only a home, but a lifestyle. You’ll never be at a loss for something to do. Whether you enjoy a nice, relaxing stroll on the beach, a shopping and gourmet cuisine bonanza, or even a bustling nighttime scene, this town, within it’s relatively small borders, has you covered. It is truly a gem nestled among miles of paradise in South Orange County.
