About Corona Del Mar State Beach in Newport Beach, California
Corona Del Mar State Beach is a large popular beach on the east side of the Newport Harbor channel entrance in the Corona Del Mar neighborhood in Newport Beach.
This is a state-owned beach that is managed and operated by the city of Newport Beach who call it Corona Del Mar Main Beach and charge a fee for parking. This south-facing beach is a wide flat area with room for volleyball courts and many sunbathers. Even with a huge parking lot this triangular-shaped beach draws enough visitors to fill that lot. The parking lot entrance is at Ocean Boulevard and Jasmine Avenue.
An alternate entrance with free parking is at the east end of the park at Ocean Boulevard and Orchid Avenue where there is a small blufftop park called Inspiration Point. A ramp descends from this park and has a landing about halfway down with benches and good views of the beach.
If you are hungry while at CDM Beach, there is a delicious take-out restaurant called The Jetty right behind the beach. In the summer months they have extended hours so you can get breakfast and a hearty meal up to 5pm.
A couple rock jetties provide protection from the west so Corona Del Mar State Beach usually offers a safe swimming area. Pirates Cove Beach is west of the parking lot facing the harbor channel.
