Corona del Mar State Beach

Corona del Mar State Beach extends across 30 acres of sandy shores and rocky coves along the Newport Harbor channel entrance in California.

The beach underwent substantial changes in the late 1930s when the Newport Harbor jetty extension modified the southern swells and altered surfing conditions.

Duke Kahanamoku demonstrated the first documented use of a surfboard for rescue operations at this beach during a fishing vessel incident in 1925.

The main entrance at Ocean Boulevard and Jasmine Avenue leads to a large parking lot, while free parking exists at Ocean Boulevard and Orchid Avenue.

Rock jetties near the beach create protected swimming areas and form Pirates Cove, a secluded inlet facing the harbor channel.
