beach is very beautiful. has space available for beach volleyball. has a good amount of bathrooms stalls but they dont have anything to dry your hands with, like air dryer or paper towels

The only OC beach I know that has street parking without paying. Beautiful beach that the water is clean with some seaweed. Overall the sunset is nice and a place to go for a swim. Pay parking is available but I prefer street parking if available on the weekdays.

One of my favorite beaches that I’ve visited! Had a huge amount of parking, lots of beach’s space and the waves were awesome, definitely bigger than expected but still had a lot of people bogey boarding and swimming and restrooms on hand! Highly recommend this for a good beach visit if your in the area

Such a beautiful beach! Close parking was a great plus. The variety It has to offer. Is that it's right by the Newport Harbor, giant rocks to climb on, bathroom accessibility and such a clean Beach! It's also a very cool hangout for youth because it's somewhat secluded in its area.

One of the best and beautiful parts of Southern California. Corona del Mar is a beautiful and distinguished area. Wonderful estates and pristine beaches. A great family spot.

Came on a weekend afternoon and was surprised to find plenty of parking — big plus! Maybe it’s just the off-season. The sunset was beautiful, but the beach feels more like a spot for family or friends to hang out than a quiet place to enjoy the ocean view.

Corona Del Mar State Beach is a beautiful, well-maintained spot in Orange County that exceeded my expectations. For a public beach, it was impressively clean with plenty of trash bins and staff visible. The sand was soft, the water was clear, and the view was stunning, especially at sunset. It’s a great place for families, couples, or solo visitors. Parking can get tight, but it’s worth the effort. I felt safe, relaxed, and truly enjoyed my time there. Whether you’re there to swim, sunbathe, or just take a walk, this beach delivers a peaceful and scenic experience. Will definitely be back!

This is a small garden area that has a library, small store and even a restaurant looking out at the garden. There’s blooming flowers full of color, green houses, koi fish pond, and welcoming staff. It was fun walking around and checking out all the trees, flowers and fish and turtles. They even have a small scavenger hunt that kids can participate in which was really fun as we walked around. The store was cute but the library was closed. There was a small patio that you can just sit and enjoy the area and the bathroom are next to the store. The restaurant seemed busy during the week around 1:00 pm. Think it would be nice to return to visit the restaurant to sit out in the patio area enjoying our meal.

Love this beautiful botanical garden and library! Each time the magical environment transfers me to heaven and back. Exotic plants and flowers, beautiful gift shop that you can always find a unique souvenir and Dahlia 608 restaurant at the garden is a must to experience. Go there! You won’t be disappointed.

This place is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. The atmosphere is so lively and fun! The gift shop has a great selection of items. Make sure to take some time to visit this incredible garden! 🪏🪴

Lovely gardens! The best gift shop too! I’ll stop here for gifts in the future. Well curated. Nice variety. I don’t love succulents but their succulent garden is just gorgeous. Quirky, vintage, unique library featuring local city books and archives.

A great afternoon escape in Newport Beach. Perfect size to appreciate natural beauty of the gardens without having to do miles of walking.

I've loved visiting here many times in the past and would normally give the Gardens between 4 and a half and 5 stars. But on our most recent visit a few days ago. the Gardens looked to have somewhere between 25 and 30 percent of their space closed or removed. The gift shop (where I've bought Christmas presents) became a gift "table", several restrooms were closed (and apparently the restaurant space is closed too?) and a few benches where we loved to sit are now gone. I know there's a SUBSTANTIAL renovation project either in progress or about to happen. I just wish the greeters would have been a bit more transparent or honest about what we were going to see. I for one would rather return when the whole space has been restored to glory.

Honestly one of the best $5 I have ever spent. This beautiful garden offers so much and every corner is breathtakingly gorgeous. There are so many different types of plants and decorations, everything is so colorful and aesthetic. Especially during Christmas time the decorations are incredible. This place is perfect for a date, you can take so many beautiful pictures.

This nice little spot was pretty quiet the weekday morning we were there, which also meant we easily found a spot parking along the street at the top of the hill. The beach got pretty busy by lunchtime. Bring water shoes; the tide pools are fun but the rocks hurt my bare feet. I also scraped up my feet playing around in the waves because of the rocks. They make such a beautiful sound when the water moves them in and out with the tide, but -- ouch.

Our favorite beach in Orange County! This beach has it all - nice soft sand, comfortable waves you can swim in, rocks and arches for beautiful pictures, and a nice cliff view to get you inspired. We discovered this place incidentally while on our way to Corona Del Mar. However, we loved it so much that we now go here way more! There’s street parking at the top (which can be difficult to find at times) and then a wide paved walkway to the bottom. It is handicap accessible because of the walkway, but I imagine it will be difficult to go back up due to its steep incline. Overall a must-visit while you are here in Orange County :)

This beach is awesome. The tide pools are so much fun to explore that you could look for hours. The beach itself is clean and has excellent views.

Great place to come and experience the awesomeness of nature! Come and see the rocks and tide pools. Bring the kiddos and let them explore and learn stuff. 😎

Really nice place we had a little incident with sting rays my dad got sting by one 😩

I love this beach! It’s a small cove with calm surfs for boogie boarding and swimming. There are rocks to climb on and tide pools to explore, which are great for helping kids learn about the ocean’s sea life. There is a steep hill but no stairs to climb and everything can be wheeled down to the beach. Bathrooms and showers are available as well. My kids grew up coming here and still love it as adults. It’s not usually as crowded as the picture below portrays-this was Labor Day weekend, 2019.

This is a great little out-of-the-way beach. It's our favorite to visit when in southern California!

Party of 4 - 2025 Halloween Boutique Theme: Midnight Market This is my first ever Roger’s Gardens experience which I definitely enjoyed! We arrived early 8:30a to snatch a good parking before the gang arrives for RG’s first day of Midnight Market opened at 9a. It took about 10 mins until we reached the entrance of Midnight Market tent which was not bad at all. We went around the store at least 3x just to make sure we didn’t miss anything! As far as selections, you will find plenty of unique furnishings and Halloween decors. And yes, it may be bit on the $$$ side for some but one can justify the originality of each and every piece. RG is not your typical William Sonoma, Sur La Table or Home Goods for that matter. Having said that, I’ll make sure to be ready on October 3rd for their Christmas Boutique opening! Note to self: Reserve at least 4 hrs for next visit!

Expensive but awesome nursery, with amazing gift items and truly impressive Halloween and Christmas boutiques. Hard to find ornamental and rose breeds. Fancy gifts and home decor year round. Amazing restaurant location on site (Farmhouse at Rogers gardens, make a reservation if you don't want to wait 1 hour year round)

Roger’s Gardens is basically Disneyland for plant lovers — minus the rides, plus way more things you suddenly “need” for your home. The place is beautifully curated, sprawling, and somehow convinces you that, yes, your backyard does need another citrus tree and three more succulents. We love to stop there on Thanksgiving weekend when all the Christmas lights and trees are out. From the seasonal displays to the high-quality plants and home décor, everything feels thoughtful and a little magical. The staff are friendly and genuinely helpful, even when you’re wandering around debating whether your patio requires a statement planter (spoiler: it does). Pro tip: Plan a stop at their restaurant, The Farmhouse — it’s the perfect way to end your plant safari, and the garden setting makes everything taste even better

I enjoy Roger's Gardens. I'm more of a DIY'er and I get so much inspiration, but for those with less of a hands-on approach It's a treasure trove of quality products and beautiful nursery items and plants. The displays and patios and fountains are beautiful, and the store displays are set up in pleasing themed sections. Blues here, beach there, reds just there, rustic and elegant has their place too.

This is one of my favorite places to go, especially at the holidays. If you like wandering in to a place with beautiful gifts, ornaments, plants, and flowers, you will really enjoy this place. You can go online and take a look at their website and it’ll give you a preview of what they have. For anyone who wants to wander and take your time, just be careful and bring a small purse or bag. It’s very easy to hit things and knock things over because they have so much. What makes it unique to something like an Armstrong Gardens or a nursery is that they put the high-end touch on it. You have several rooms of interesting gifts and decor, then rows of beautiful plants and water fountains. They have real Christmas trees you can buy, but their artificial trees are top notch as well. They have small gifts that are affordable, to really expensive gifts and patio furniture. I bought hanging flower arrangements there that have lasted years to Christmas ornaments that I still use. It’s great to go during Halloween when they have several rooms set up with all sorts of great decor. It’s best to go random times during the week when it’s not busy. It has very little parking and is popular so going off hours is your best bet to enjoy versus going on a weekend. Other options are to park across the street behind the gas station and walk over if you do go on the weekend. Just be prepared to be moving around people as it does get packed. The farmhouse restaurant that’s attached to the back is also a great place to go. The best is when you go at Christmas and you’re sitting in open air seating and you can smell the fresh Christmas trees as you eat dinner. This is a place I go to whenever I want to cheer myself up.

One of my favorite nurseries to visit! You can easily spend an entire morning or afternoon here. The midnight market is also a lot of fun to walk through to get you in the halloween spirit 🎃

I will be the first to admit that this place is beautiful. The low stars is to put a caution out in the universe that this place is outrageously overpriced. If that’s your tax bracket go and enjoy, but if you’re more of a Home Goods shopper, this place is an exercise in outraged frustration. Zoom in on the pics to take a look at the prices. Also, enjoy the Christmas magic 😉

We recently held my mother’s funeral at Pacific View Memorial and Funeral Service, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care, compassion, and professionalism we received. From the moment we began planning, the entire team treated our family with kindness and respect during such a difficult time. In particular, we want to thank Melissa, who guided us through every step of the process with incredible patience, empathy, and attention to detail. She worked hand-in-hand with us, making sure that every element of the service honored our mother beautifully. Her support truly made a world of difference. The grounds are peaceful and well-kept, and the service itself was handled with grace and dignity. Our family felt comforted and supported throughout, and we are deeply appreciative of the warmth and professionalism shown to us. Thank you to everyone at Pacific View for helping us celebrate our mother’s life in such a meaningful way.

A Heartfelt Tribute: Our Experience at Pacific View Memorial Park When faced with the unimaginable—saying goodbye to a beloved wife, mother, and friend, one hopes for comfort, dignity, and compassion. In the days following the passing of my wife, Donna Michelle Ballard Connery, I found solace and gratitude at Pacific View Memorial Park. This review is a testament to their first-class service and the beauty of Donna’s final resting place. From the first moment I arrived, I was struck by the tranquil beauty of its grounds. Gentle hills roll under a wide expanse of sky, and the landscape is carefully tended, lush with greenery and shaded by mature trees. Donna’s resting place offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, where sunlight dances on the water and gentle breezes bring comfort. The staff at Pacific View Memorial Park, particularly Alisha Myers and Veronica Soto Ryan, provided a level of care that was not only first-class but deeply personal. Alisha’s compassion and Veronica’s calm steadiness ensured that every detail was attended to with care. They listened attentively to our wishes, offering thoughtful advice and support. The service itself reflected Donna’s spirit, full of love and personal touches. Floral arrangements were chosen with Donna’s favorite colors and flowers in mind. Seating was thoughtfully arranged, and music selections reflected Donna’s tastes. Memorial materials were personalized with care, honoring Donna’s legacy. Beyond the day of the service, Pacific View Memorial Park has continued to offer support. Alisha and Veronica followed up with phone calls and kind words, providing resources for grief counseling and support groups. The broader staff community contributed to this sense of ongoing solace. For those seeking a place to honor and remember their loved ones, I offer my heartfelt recommendation of Pacific View Memorial Park, and special thanks to again to Alisha and Veronica.

On a clear day you can see Catalina. My uncle, cousins and aunt are buried here. We celebrated my aunts life yesterday. The staff are so nice and gracious. Everything for the graveside was beautiful. We had family running late and they allowed us to wait for them. It was a beautiful day. My aunt and uncle met in Catalina which is why they selected this location. It’s always difficult to say goodbye. When we said goodbye to my uncle they allowed the fire trucks to drive through as my uncle was the captain of the South Pasadena Fire Department. This is a beautiful property and the staff is so nice and helpful during this difficult process. This was the forth funeral at this location. Ten out of ten recommend for a final resting spot.

My family has had a lovely lawn and ocean view location on the corner of Pacific View Cemetary since 1991 when my grandfather passed, now my grandmother, mom and brother are all together. Just this month we celebrated the life of my amazing Uncle and he is resting now too at Pacific View with family. He had prepaid and organized his wishes with the PV team over 20 years ago, so following his instructions were easy. Every person helped with kindness and professional expertise in a sad and stressful month. From transporting him to the mortuary, to planning the service, suggesting a wonderful Reverend, to walking through the day of with tissues magically appearing on our laps and organizing strong cousins as pallbearers. Pacific View Mortuary is first class customer service and respectfully helpful in every phase. Thank you!

About eight weeks ago, I signed up with PVM for my mother’s services. My mom was on hospice, and we pre-arranged everything through their representative, Melissa, leaving a deposit of approximately $4,000. After clarifying some details, we realized that PVM’s prices were nearly three times higher than another reputable funeral home in Brea. Upon discussing this with Melissa, she agreed to refund our deposit and confirmed that we were free to proceed elsewhere. However, it’s now been over eight weeks, and no refund has been issued despite multiple follow-ups. This experience has been deeply disappointing. During such a painful and emotional time, grieving families deserve honesty, compassion, and efficiency — not delays and broken promises. PVM’s prices are excessively high, and their failure to return our funds in a timely manner shows a lack of integrity and empathy. I give them a POOR rating and do not recommend their services to anyone going through the loss of a loved one

Our funeral arrangements for our mom were seamless and relatively easy. We were treated with compassion, understanding and attention to our needs. The whole staff at Pacific View Memorial Park and Mortuary were excellent.

Pacific View Mortuary staff are outstanding. Veronia assisted us throughout the entire process from our loved one's arrival to his burial. Veronia ensured every detail was thought of and carried out to perfection. From the gravesite which including Father McGovern who was wonderful, the US Army representatives who were outstanding and professional...best TAPs I've ever heard at a funeral. The food (Jay's Catering) was delicious and their staff were very attentive. With the photos provided, Veronica created a beautiful slideshow and then provided us with a thumb drive of that slideshow. Miguel, Robert and Conner were extremely professional and attentive to whatever we needed at the gravesite and during the celebration of life which was held at Pacific View in their onsite Chapel. You all made this emotional and difficult process very easy. We are forever grateful. Pacific View Memorial Park is always very well maintained and a beautiful peaceful place to visit your loved ones.

Feelings after E-bike tour with Joe. Awesome experience and the electric bikes were so fun. Able to see lots of beautiful areas, loved the cool facts, and enjoyed Balboa bars and frozen bananas. Highly recommend!

Did a fantastic tour with Lori and Jeanne. We really enjoyed ourselves and the bikes are fantastic! I'll be back for more!

Joe and his team were great to work with. We found the perfect bikes for us and are loving the experience. The quality, warranty and purchasing experience of a Pedego, especially at this location, are excellent. We landed on the Boomerang model given the low step through as well as the adjustable height that supported the varying sizes of my family members.

The bikes are amazing at this Corona Del Mar shop. Once you go electric you can’t go back to regular bikes! Trevor was very helpful on getting our bikes ready and showed us step by step on how to use it. He was friendly, kind, and provided great customer service! We will continue to recommend this location to our friends and guests from the hotel. This is a great location to rent the bikes because you can go from the shop onto the ferry and then to the Newport Beach peninsula and head back before the shop closes. What a wonderful experience, thanks Trevor!

I finally made the switch to electric and purchased 2 bikes from Joe 2 months ago. I couldn't be happier! Living around the beach these are a must have and really encourage me to get outside the Huntington Beach bubble more frequently. A big selling point for me was knowing that you can always get them serviced at a Pedego shop. Overall the customer service and quality of the bikes are excellent!

Just bought a boomerang plus, custom paint periwinkle blue. Large battery, 75 miles on one charge. Love, love this bike. Also had a body float attachment to the seat, it’s like you’re riding in a car it is such a nice easy ride. The service at Pedego Corona Del Mar is outstanding. I feel safe and secure that I can always have my bike fixed if necessary.

I was looking for a new e-bike and so glad I stumbled across this Pedego dealer while lunching in CDM. These guys are not only very knowledgeable and professional but very kind and funny! I worked with Evan and he was fabulous. Ask for him. They didn’t have what I was looking for in stock but Evan sat down with me at the computer and helped me custom build my bike. He explained every feature and help me make the right decision what I needed vs what I didn’t truly need. He ordered it and it arrived a few days later. When I went to pick it up, it was literally 5 minutes before closing. Evan still took all the time necessary to show me everything, even though he was technically off the clock. Fantastic service, friendly and fun! Although I have a Pedego dealer in my own city, I will drive to CDM because they are so good at what they do. Now Evan is going to help me pick out accessories. I love my new bike. I bought a white Avenue with black mag wheels. A big thumbs up to Pedego CDM!

Only in SoCal.... Chaises, sectionals, and recliners in the movie theater with food and alcohol service🍸 Must see movies---Cabrini; and OneLove... They do offer military discount at $17. No need to purchase Tix in advance online and the $2pp fee. You can walk in and purchase in person.

Wonderfully renovated historic theater in Corona del Mar! Fantastic venue with a super groovy vibe with comfy reclining chairs and couches. Come hungry because there is a wonderful bistro and full bar on site. Highly recommend the charcuterie platter!

This will be a party service based review for Dalma, Ivy, Riley, Hagen, and Khaleel as opposed to the movie experience. We came here to celebrate our cousin's 40th birthday. It was a blast having the whole venue all to ourselves. Open bar, catered food, live band, you name it! People walking outside were even surprised you could make party reservations at this location! We had quite a few kids come though making a mess though 😅. But after seeing the hard work Dalma, Ivy, Riley, Hagen, and Khaleel put into not only the clean up, but also just embodying the chill guy/girl meme when it came to their kindness and customer service, especially with the kids, I knew these weren't your regular movie employees. They really gave it their all in their job and are quality people. Come to this theater soon whether you see movie or reserve a party while these employees are there. Because with their quality of work, they'll probably move into bigger careers in life, so come soon while they're still working here for impeccable service! 10 stars out of 5. They went above and beyond. Highly recommended.

Awesome experience with my children’s first production of a movie shown on a audience screen the staff is fantastic

A family favorite in my hometown! Definitely go! Good beer and wine, really comfy seats, great theater experience overall always.

Wow, wow, wow!!! We had our company holiday party at the Port Theater last night, and I can't say enough good things! Celina was amazing to work with and the staff helping during our party were friendly and courteous. The food was delicious, the dj was fun, and the venue was just overall fantastic. Being able to have our "name in lights" on the marquis out front, put up movie posters, and use all of the screens for special videos and images meant that we could really customize our party and make it feel special for our team. Thank you so much for helping make the evening so enjoyable and memorable!

So cool. Feels like an old movie house of the 50s… or the 90s before everywhere upgraded to stadium seating. This place has fun themed drinks matching the movie (Top Gun had the Gin & Goose? Or was it the Gray Goose Martini? That last one isn’t original but this name was so I’m at a loss) and solid snacks. It feels like it doesn’t fit with the modern, “best of the best” of Newport, and that is exactly why I love it.

Mediocre massage at best… not only she didn’t listen or address my concerns she was applying the pressure at wrong spots on my body. Leaving $15 tip on top of my $85 bill which I thought was too much for a bad service she had an audacity to give me an eye roll and complain that tip wasn’t good enough and I should leave 20%!!! Slow your roll… and if you dare to request 20% tip learn how to give a proper massage.

Don’t walk in, run in! Best massage I’ve ever received. Trust me, I won’t lead you astray. Enjoy! And thank you to Jada for the great massage and tea

Hands down the best massage in OC. Michelle utilizes Thai, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Reflexology to “fix” you - you not only breathe better, you can feel the blood flowing back to your brain! So accommodating and so kind. Thank you!!

Overall disrespectful and unprofessional experience. I called to schedule 3 massages a day in advance of when I wanted to get them. They took my name, number, and said they had me all booked. Then I get there on time on the day my massages were scheduled with the two other people getting massages with me. This was something we had been looking forward to for days and had planned our entire day around it. We get there, right at 2 which was when they were scheduled for, and we try to open the door, and it's locked. That's only the start. There are multiple open signs on the door and online it said they were open, yet the door was locked. We stood there for at least 10 minutes knocking on the door and calling the spa, not even able to get through on the phone. Finally, a person comes out and we tell here we're here for 3 massages, and she says we have the wrong place and that they're busy. She was rude and unfriendly and barely opened the door to speak to us and ending up closing the door right in our face. She never even checked her schedule to see if we were booked and just shooed us away. I went through my phone call history and compared the number I called the other day to schedule these appointments to the number of the spa I was at, and they were the same numbers. So I was at the right place. It was an extremely frustrating experience. I do not recommend this place for a massage as they will most likely forget about your appointment and just leave you stranded. They have horrible customer service and never even apologized. Forever angry. Don't know if I'll be able to enjoy a massage ever again. You're welcome.

One of the best massages ever. Great price, attentive and knowledgeable staff, and their ability to pinpoint pain/aches and relieve muscle tension was fantastic. Definitely coming back here

The best of both worlds. This place combines traditional Thai massage with regular deep tissue/oil/hot stone massage to create an amazing experience. The facility is beautifully decorated and clean, the massage table is heated, and the massage therapists are strong and know exactly where to massage you. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

One of the best massages I have ever had, better than massages I have had at 5 star resorts. First I called 45 mins prior to my booked time asking if I could come a half hour early and yes. Unlike many Thai massage places they have heated tables which is especially wonderful. Amazing Thai massage that helped loosen up my extremely tight muscles.

Cute shop, fun variety, and nice quality merch. Be careful if gifting around the busy holiday season. Very strict on return policy. I tried to make an exchange for two gifted items from my children that didn’t fit (totaling almost $200). I was one day past the return window and was told “sorry, the computer won’t let me.” We just found this local shop and unfortunately we won’t be back.

Great store with thoughtfully curated selection. Super cool and unique finds. Locally owned makes it even better!

Great place to shop at in pacific city. West of Camden definitely is a must if you're looking to shop for some quality and well made brands like Publish. Monika was very helpful with pairing up some pieces together styling my needs. It's nice to see Publish in Huntington Beach and even nicer to see that it fits their style which elevates the shop. With it comes to the men's apparel, Publish is a good one to check out for sure. I'm a fan of their style, minimalist approach and especially their phenomenal quality. They also have obey and King from London to help compliment each other as well. This shop is very approachable and it's worth checking out especially being that it carries brands like Publish and King where other surrounding stores do not have. Support your local boutique and business!

Great place to refresh the wardrobe. They have fun and really unique gifts. Also, I’d rather buy from a small business than a large retail chain. Other great stores nearby too, fun area

I love this store! I wish I could but everything in there. Such a great aesthetic and they're one of a kind (they're opening up a second location soon!) I love that they offer fair trade items. My only wish is that they had sales or coupons or something so I can buy more stuff!

This place sometimes has cool stuff, but never the size I need, and FORGET buying a gift for someone you can NEVER RETURN ANYTHING!!!!

Super dope store with awesome quality clothing Owner was there and she was super nice and down to earth as well as all of the staff Definitely worth checking out this place
