DIRECTIONS At the intersection of the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) and Newport Coast Drive, south of Corona del Mar, turn west into Crystal Cove State Park (at the Pelican Point entrance). Bear right beyond the entrance station to reach Lot 1, the northernmost parking lot on the coastal bluff.

Some of the finest tidepools in Orange County—indeed in all of Southern California—await you on this short, absorbing, and probably time-consuming, rock-hopping trek between the Pelican Point area of Crystal Cove State Park and Little Corona City Beach in Corona del Mar. Wear an old pair of rubber-soled shoes or boots (boots are better for ankle support), and expect to get wet below the ankles. Don’t turn your back to the incoming waves; otherwise, you may get even wetter.
