The Corona Del Mar State Beach literally translates to “the crown of the sea” and is a 30-acre area that was a popular surfing spot till the 1930’s. With the construction of the jetty and its extension, “The Wedge” was formed that gave the surfers beautiful high waves and protected the Corona from the massive swells of the sea.

It was at this beach that Duke Kahanamoku rescued people on his surfboard when a vessel turned over into the ocean during high surf. Today, the beach has become an iconic part of Newport. Come here to see the vintage cottages and houses, walk on the streets that are named after flowers, dine at any one of the restaurants that swarm the place, explore quaint spots with live music and witness avid surfers from around the world come here to ride the waves.

Spread a picnic blanket and get cosy on the golden sands to get a tan or simply lay back to see the pacific ocean change colours as the sun sets. The laid- back feel of the beach with buzzing nightlife hotspots and good music is best explored during summers. If you are game for it, try the beach boot camps arranged at the beach.
