Sunny Days at Crystal Cove

It’s been really gloomy these past few days here in Los Angeles, so I figured I’d share these photos and throw it back (#tbt, anyone?) to sunny days at Crystal Cove State Park.

After we frolicked around Balboa Island, we decided to stop by Crystal Cove, which was just a few miles away from the resort. The beach definitely borders more to the “organized” side of beaches in the sense that, they had a decent parking lot ($15 for the full day) and you have the option to do the trail to get to the beach, or to use the crosswalk across the Pacific Coast Highway.

Obviously, we did the trail.

The short trail (approximately a 10 minute walk) led you through a tunnel, which was pretty cool. Then you’re greeted by the Beachcomber and everything was alive. Think of this beach as some underground party.

We didn’t stay too long. Took some photos and headed out to the Pavillion’s down the street to stock up on some ice cream (mmm, mango) and some drinks. I also needed to buy shampoo and conditioner because with thick hair like mine, complimentary items from the resort just doesn’t cut it.

My cousin, Angie (who’s been mentioned in a lot of my entries) FINALLY got around to starting up her blog! She loves to travel and she enjoys stumbling upon hole-in-the-wall bookshops that make her little heart content. If you’re looking for a new read, check out the detours she makes in her life over at One Rad Detour.

  2. All of your California photos make me really want go to there, because beaches and palm trees are my favorite things 🙂 I wish I had thick hair that needed it's own shampoo, mine's thin and limp so anything goes!

  5. Mango ice cream is my favorite! You and Chris should consider getting a selfie stick if you don't have one already! Maybe others would judge but I wouldn't, hehe. Dan and I use it when we travel.

  15. I haven't been to Crystal Cove in nearly four years, but I loved it there! Crystal is an apt description. Wish I'd seen that tunnel when I was there.

  18. lovely photos!

    i don't know anyone who actually use hotel / resort hygiene products so the fact that you use them make me laugh a little. i guess it's just an odd idea for me because my family and i usually use those complimentary soaps / shampoos to wash our clothes if they happen to get stained 😛

    also, stereotypically speaking, most chinese (asians?) usually take those complimentary items home because they're free :))

  19. For May, the weather is pretty gloomy! I haven't been to Crystal Cove before and it sounds like one of those hidden gems along the beaches XD. The trail looks pretty neat! I should definitely check it out when the weather is right ;). Whenever I'm at the hotel, I always use up one whole bottle of lotion each day @___@. At least the housekeeper replenished it daily XD.

    I'll definitely check out your cousin's blog! Major congrats to her on opening one up :).

  22. Love the murals on the tunnel! And same, complimentary hotel shampoos never do the trick for me. I bring my own whenever I could. The beach looks nice though, and I really want to go on a short trip.
