Overview

Corona Del Mar (Spanish for “Crown of the Sea”) is a seaside neighborhood within the City of Newport Beach, California, known for its cliffside views, sandy coves, and walkable village core. The community blends vintage beach cottages and contemporary homes with easy access to iconic coastal recreation, boutique shopping, and chef-driven dining.

Location & Boundaries

Set on the seaward face of the San Joaquin Hills, Corona Del Mar occupies the coastal bluffs and coves south of Avocado Avenue, including the Flower Streets, Harbor View Hills, and Irvine Terrace. It sits between Newport Coast to the south and central Newport Beach to the north, minutes from Balboa Island and Fashion Island.

History & Character

Developed in the early 1900s, Corona Del Mar began as a small coastal village and has grown into one of Orange County’s most desirable addresses. The Flower Streets (begonia, carnation, marigold, and more) preserve the neighborhood’s cottage charm, while nearby hilltop tracts offer larger lots and sweeping ocean, harbor, and Catalina Island views.

Beaches & Tide Pools

Corona Del Mar State Beach (“Big Corona”) is a half-mile sandy crescent framed by cliffs and the east jetty of Newport Harbor—ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and sunset walks. Just down Poppy Avenue, Little Corona Del Mar Beach is a protected cove with rocky reefs and seasonal low-tide tide pools popular for snorkeling and family exploration. Pirate’s Cove and Lookout Point offer dramatic rock formations and harbor vistas. For hiking and longer coastal walks, residents head a few minutes south to Crystal Cove trails and beaches.

Parks, Gardens & Outdoor Living

Year-round Mediterranean weather supports an active outdoor lifestyle: beach volleyball, surfing, paddleboarding, harbor cruises, and coastal hiking. Within the village, Sherman Library & Gardens showcases botanical collections and community programming, and Saturday’s Corona Del Mar Farmers Market (Marguerite & PCH) features local produce and baked goods.

Village, Shopping & Dining

Corona Del Mar’s main corridor along Pacific Coast Highway is lined with cafés, bakeries, boutiques, salons, and neighborhood restaurants. Nearby Fashion Island expands options with luxury retail and destination dining, while the smaller Corona Del Mar Plaza offers everyday conveniences. The area balances relaxed, local spots with polished, special-occasion favorites.

Housing & Architecture

Housing options span renovated beach cottages, lock-and-leave condos, and custom contemporary estates. Flower Streets properties appeal to buyers seeking walkability and village charm; Harbor View Hills and Irvine Terrace are prized for larger parcels and panoramic views. Many homes feature indoor-outdoor spaces, rooftop decks, and glass walls to capture ocean breezes and sunsets.

Rentals & Temporary Stays

Short- and long-term rentals in and around Newport Beach allow prospective residents to experience the Corona Del Mar lifestyle before purchasing. Coastal cottages and view condos are common, with access to beaches, the village, and harbor recreation.

Schools

Corona Del Mar is served by Newport-Mesa Unified School District. Nearby public and private options span elementary through high school, with specialized programs and extracurriculars common across the district. Many families also consider neighborhood-adjacent campuses elsewhere in Newport Beach and Irvine.

Getting Around & Commute

Local errands are walkable for many residents. By car, it’s roughly 10–20 minutes to major employment hubs in Newport Center and Irvine Spectrum (traffic-dependent). John Wayne Airport (SNA) is typically 15–25 minutes away. Coastal bikeways and harbor walkways add scenic alternatives for recreation and short trips.
