Crystal Cove State Beach

Public beach

👍👍 This is a great little beach. The times I have been there, it has not been crowded. The sea life in the rocky areas are cool to explore.

Pelican Point Picnic Area #4

State park

👍👍 Great spot for a picnic! Several tables and amazing views! This trail to the beach although it is paved is very steep. If you park at the west parking areas 1 or 2, the walk down to the beach isn't as steep. Such a beautiful walk on the trails and beach! It does cost to park but it's well worth it....

Park

🫤 Stayed in one of the cabins near the restaurant. Rustic, but comfortable. The beach is very nicely maintained by the park service crew. The restaurant is quite pricey, but the food is very good. I took off three stars because of the park's custom of setting huge bonfires for small groups of people...

😐 This park used to be one of my favorite underrated spots one must visit while in LA, especially the Chinatown/Lincoln Heights side--not only for the gay cruising, but also for the peace you get from being in nature, and the great views of the Los Angeles City skyline. However, lately, I can say litt...
