Take a Step Back in Time...
Take a step back in time with a visit to the newly restored Crystal Cove Beach Cottages in the Crystal Cove State Park Historic District! Whether in an Individual or Dorm-style Cottage, Crystal Cove Beach Cottages offer gorgeous ocean views, charming historic details, and a glimpse of a uniquely Southern Californian beach community from a bygone era.
Located in the heart of Crystal Cove State Park's 3.5 miles of pristine coastline, the Historic District first developed as a South Seas movie set due to its seclusion and tropical aura. The community thrived and became beloved for its relaxed, friendly atmosphere and picturesque landscape, and in 1979, the Crystal Cove Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
We invite you to experience the magic of Crystal Cove as it existed from the 1930s to 1950s with a stay in one of 11 Individual or 3 Dorm-style Cottages. Located directly on the beach or overlooking it from a bluff top, each cottage has been painstakingly restored and furnished to recreate Crystal Cove's unique historic beach culture and ambience. Reservations are available year-round.
Crystal Cove Alliance, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, is the official concessionaire for Crystal Cove Beach Cottages and non-profit partner with California State Parks. CCA has played an integral part in the preservation and restoration of the cottages. As a non-profit public benefit organization, CCA remains dedicated to raising the funds necessary to restore the 24 cottages in phase two. We look forward to their restoration and public use, but it cannot be done without your help!

Crystal Cove Cottages:
Islands in Time on the California Coast
Between Laguna Beach and Corona del Mar, on one of Orange County's most desirable stretches of oceanfront property, sit 46 rustic handmade cottages dating to the 1920s. What is this oasis in time, and how did it remain untouched while the rest of the region evolved into a contemporary suburban landscape?
Crystal Cove Cottages: Islands in Time on the California Coast unveils the mystery that has intrigued Pacific Coast Highway motorists for decades.
In the News
Up the coast, the Crystal Cove State Park Historic District offers a reprieve from everyday life and a look back in time
Less than 20 miles from San Clemente, up the twisting Pacific Coast Highway, you can step back in time to a preserved sliver of California coastal history. To a three-mile stretch of beach that looks today nearly the same way it did nearly a century ago. To the remnants of a unique community cobbled together out of the flotsam of the film industry and the jetsam of Poseidon's pantry. And you don't need a time machine to get there, either. ... read full story
