Crystal Cove State Park Details
Running for 3.2 miles along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean, this state park is a picture-perfect spot for nature lovers.

The entire park covers over 3,936-acres of area. Of that, 1,400-acres are protected underwater landscapes, which makes this a popular spot for scuba and skin divers. The rest of the park is undeveloped woodlands and rocky beaches. Guests can go hiking, cycling, horseback riding, birdwatching, or even camping during their visit.
