Corona del Mar State Beach Details
A popular hangout spot for locals and tourists alike, this 30-acre state beach sits right on the coast of Corona del Mar in Newport Beach. The clean ½ mile stretch of soft white sand is the perfect spot for a few hours of sunbathing or swimming, although this area is also a great destination for surfing. The nearby Newport Harbor jetty actually contributes to the great surfing. When it was constructed in the 1930s, surfers noticed that the wave would bounce off the jetty, creating a second wave. As that second wave rolls back and joins the original swell, it can create a peak of up to 30-feet in height. This surf break is now commonly referred to as The Wedge.
