Crystal Cove -
old movie locale
Location:
Between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach
Description:
The Crystal Cove Historic District is a 12.3-acre
coastal portion of the Crystal Cove State Park,
located off the Pacific Coast Highway between
Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. The federally
listed Historic District is an enclave of 46
vintage rustic coastal cottages originally built in
the 1920s and 1930s. The site has been used as the
movie filming location for many movies including
Treasure Island in 1934 starring Wallace
Beery and Jackie Cooper, The Sea Wolf, Rain
with Joan Crawford, To Have and Have Not,
Disney's Herbie Rides Again, and Beaches
filmed in 1988 with Bette Midler, just to name a
few.
California State Parks has completed Phase I of
the restoration of the Historic District, which
provides cottages for visitor services, educational
and community programs, a restaurant, and 13
cottages for overnight use by the public. The
overnight rentals include studios, one- and
two-bedroom houses, and hostel-style dormitories.
Phase II, the next stage of restoration, is now
underway.
The Beachcomber Café, a restored
beachfront cottage, offers a relaxed dining
atmosphere with spectacular ocean views and a
quality menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The
park also features three miles of Pacific
coastline, plus wooded canyons, open bluffs, and
offshore waters designated as an underwater
park.
