Crystal Cove State Beach on a Beautiful Winter Day ~ January 22, 2009

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart, Evergreen Realty

Crystal Cove at Corona del Mar, California.

TOURIST DAY at Crystal Cove, our favorite local California state beach.  We enjoyed time with friend Ian White who is from Scotland and visited with us yesterday. crystal cove

It was a glorious winter day with rain and intermittent sunshine

Being tourists for a change of pace at our own local favorite Crystal Cove State Beach and its Beachcomber Cafe was a highlight.

Excellent burgers at the Beachcomber Cafe with seating on wood chairs at the deck overlooking the purple colors of our Pacific ocean.

Ian and Christi are enjoying a laugh at the sand porch of the old Crystal Cove Shack, an icon building at this beach location.

Just twenty minutes from our home at Irvine. 

 

 

 

Ian, Christi and I, got out for a good hike at low tide and were amazed that almost nobody else was there to share the beach with us.

 

 

 Join us some day and be a visitor to South OC and Crystal Cove.   Harrison K. Long, Explore Group Properties, Coldwell Banker Previews.

Harrison,

One of the things we desert rats miss the most is open water!  Thanks for the photos.

H Li .. thanks for the comment here.  This beach is special, a very inviting place. Our photos images are nice but won't tell the whole story until you are here to hike at low tide yourself. Best wishes. Harrison

Hi Chris Ann ... Yes, it's lovely here at South OC, especially at the beach during winter days when we get some rain, clear sky and big puffy clouds.  Best wishes. Harrison

Can I click my heels together three times and wish I were there?  Instead of here with the mounds and mounds of snow, ice, and cold weather?  Do you think it will work?

Renae ... Good idea ... just click your heels together three times and wish you were here in South OC. It is a beautiful day today with some winter Santa Ana winds, which I like. 

Best wishes to you on a cold day in Ohio. Harrison
