Corona Del Mar State Beach
★★★★☆
(728)
Corona del Mar State Beach is a great local beginner dive. Enter and exit at lifeguard tower 5 only. This is a City of Newport Beach requirement. Kick out to the first buoy in front of tower 5. This will be about 100m out. Descend and follow the reef towards the east.
Garibaldi, Sea lions, Octopus, Halibut and Stingrays in the shallows. Dolphins play in the shallows with sea lions.
