Enjoy it while visiting Laguna Beach in California
Located in the beautiful Laguna Beach area, Crystal Cove State Park offers one of the most expansive beaches in the region. Stretching over 3.2 miles, this beach provides ample room for sunbathing and leisurely strolls along the shore. What sets it apart from other beaches in Laguna Beach is its unique setting. Unlike the enclosed coves found elsewhere, Crystal Cove State Park features a beach that is embraced by unending bluffs, creating a picturesque backdrop. These bluffs eventually transition into a vast expanse of backcountry woodland encompassing 2,400 acres.
Explore the scenic beauty of Crystal Cove’s backcountry through its extensive network of hiking trails. With over 15 miles of trails, you can immerse yourself in the park’s canyon and enjoy breathtaking views of the ocean. A great starting point is the Moro Canyon trail, which stretches for 3 miles round trip. For a longer adventure, you can take the connected East Cut Across Trail down Moro Ridge and eventually reach the coast via the Moro Ridge trail. As you hike, keep in mind that wildlife, such as snakes and bobcats, may be present. To ensure your safety and preserve the environment, stick to the designated trails and stay vigilant.
