Crystal Cove State Park

LAGUNA BEACH. Outdoor enthusiasts of all inclinations clamor to this beautiful park, which offers not only a wide variety of landscapes for physical activity but a selection of lookout points for sightseeing as well. Several thousand acres of terrain accommodate visitors on foot, horseback, and bikes, and 3½ miles of coastline proves eminently pleasurable to folks who want to swim, scuba dive, surf, and more. In fact, a portion of the park extends beneath the water, encompassing it in its bounds. Dogs are not permitted, and park accessibility depends on the weather, so call ahead.
