    We visit this beach every time we go to southern California. There are tons of tide pools that are all teaming with life. The beach is surrounded by multi-million dollar homes, which are fun to look at in and of themselves. There's an arch in the water just south of the beach which makes for a great backdrop for family pictures. The best part is that it's easy to find (just off PCH), and it's free to park (residential area). There are also restroom facilities and an outdoor shower area to remove sand from legs and feet.

    A must see quiet, rocky hidden beach with no crowd and breathtaking views. Check out the tide chart and try to visit during low tide so you can explore the many tide pools and creatures in them. There are rocks to climb and caves to see as well. Beautiful colorful rocks and huge shells are strewn about the beach. **Remember to not remove any rocks, shells, or animals from the beach. And always remember to pick up after yourself!

    Love this place. Found this place out bu googling it and reading other people's review. Its easy to access the houses are gorgeous. The scenery is breath taking. The pebbles the shells the wildlife just fantastic. It's not as dirty as the other beaches but you'll find a few broken glass here and there but the beauty of it just amazing. Perfect place to get away from everyone nice and quiet. And they have fun facts who doesn't like fun facts to read def recommend

    We went on a late May morning, so parking wasn't a problem nor were crowds (there were four others besides us). The walkway is steep, but has handrails and generous stairs/ramp so even I could access it. The rocky beach is just beautiful - with the tide out, I'd hoped to see some tidal pool sealife, but there were none. But the beauty, the water, and peace was well worth our short trek.

    Best place for all seasons where you feel the peace of the ocean, sky and the inner soul of you. The street parking is available and not as crazy as in Laguna area. The restroom is available next to the beach and quite clean. This spot is always my familyโ€™s favorite when we have days off. Come and check it out.

    Even in the cold days of March, I made the trek to this amazing oceanfront view ๐Ÿ˜ and man it did not disappoint in the slightest. With quick and easy access parking right on the beach and plenty to explore and immerse yourself in. And yes I definitely still swam and even bodysurfed the frigid waters because you only live once. The rocky terrain hid many life and adventure to explore and it definitely a great spot to start my morning!

    Great miniature beach that's kind of tucked away at the end of its neighborhood. Even if you can't manage nearby parking and it's crowded, it's still a great place to stop. Long and steep pathway down, so it's good for a lil cardio sesh๐Ÿ˜‰ Like all beaches local to this area, the rocks are an absolute blast and make it worthwhile alone!

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL beach! Watched the sunset from the top of the hill and was amazed. Stunning rocks, landscape, and sand. Seriously the most gorgeous beach I would highly recommend visiting here. Not your typical beach. More for just short time visiting, taking pictures, and exploring the little beach.

    So happy we found this little slice of heaven. Bathrooms nearby and places to wash off sand and salt are a huge plus. The tides here are no joke however. Almost everything was taken out to the ocean with one big wave. My phone wallet and keys were luckily in a bag that also went flying but didn't open up.

    Great little spot! Has restrooms. Very small but worth it for the views. Be careful with rocks in water

    Truly such a beautiful beach. The rocks and landscape make it stand out from the other beaches. Would definitely come visit here again, especially if I only had time for one beach.

    Donโ€™t tell anyone about this gorgeous unspoiled enclave. ๐ŸคฃWe were greeted by a helpful volunteer who told us about the marine life, tides. Beautiful doesnโ€™t come close.

    Great little beach. Lots of community and locals. The rocks are fun to explore and full of life. They have sea hares (giants slugs) that are cool.

    One of my favorite beaches in Socal especially for Engagements, maternity and family sessions. I captured Ana & Marco engagements here on a Thursday evening in June.

    Had an amazing day with my Son at Little Corona Del Mar Beach. Or it can be called Inspiration Point. We hadnโ€™t been here in 5 years and I saw a picture from google, Iโ€™d have to return later in the day to get that picture as 10am. The sun was not playing ball, not complaining just the location is so, so picturesque. We walked along the coastline and the rocky areas to catch a better view. Overall an amazing experience Iโ€™d recommend to all, street parking adjacent or you can pay to park in the lot next to the main beach. Youโ€™ll not be disappointed in the glorious sites to see. Thanks for having us

    Nice beach! Finding a parking spot might be difficult here during weekends! Itโ€™s dog friendly but a lifeguard told us that you can bring your dog either before 10:30am or after 4:30pm!

    Go to the bathroom before leaving-I wouldn't use the public restrooms here. Otherwise, parking can be kinda tricky sometimes & the streets are very narrow, but all the million dollar mansions make for something interesting/pretty to look at while looking for a place to park. The beach is at the bottom of quite a steep hill off Poppy st. But it's worth it. I've been coming here since I was a kid & one of my favorite things to do is search the tidepools for sea life. We even found sea slugs & an octopus once! The squirrels are pretty friendly for handouts here too :) if you like hiking around the rocks, there's 2 caves & a neat grotto/lookout area on the right side & another cave on the left (facing the beach). Just be mindful of the tide so that you don't get stranded partway around the rocks!

    The tide pools are incredible! The beach itself is a bit rocky. It makes playing in the water Stub Toe City ๐Ÿ˜… and the sand crabs are harder to find. There is a little bit of a walk down to the beach, but you don't regret this side of heaven.

    The best beach in California! I had gone here in 2020 and had dreams of it ever sense and just as beautiful as I remember! This gorgeous little beach has so many amazing memories and we will be building so many more. Lots of shops and food in the area. Would definitely recommend this beach! Definitely the best California has to offer!
